    I am looking for a large Snowflake Eel. Sadly, I lost mine this week after many years. Really need one minimum 20 inches and mature as he will be going in a large tank with big aggressive fish.


    For those who will say "I remember this guy, I thought he must have died!" Nope, I am still here just lurking in the shadows.

    That sucks! I can relate, I lost a very large mature one a while back. Finally gave up on finding another large one and got a new one yesterday from live aquaria. Problem is, he looks like a striped earth worm. Already almost got his head bit off by my lunar /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif

    Good luck with the search, hope you find one!

    Hey Donny, yup should be the same one. Big boy, the best measurement I could get on him was 27", guess I could have gotten a good measurement on him last night /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif. I am doing fine, eel not so much. Truth be told Coral not so much either. Other fish doing great!

    Oh yeah, also would like a big Lunare if someone has one outgrowing their tank .....

    He did get back to me thanks. It was small one though, only 1/2 - 3/4 thick. I think my Puffer and Picasso trigger would think he is w work. Better hold out for a larger one. Thanks for pointing him my way.

    Joel, are you still looking for a large Snowflake eel? I have had one for over 6 years that is very healthy and over 30" long. What do you have to trade?

    Trade hmmm. Don't really have any livestock to trade. I have a bunch of hardware, new Hamilton 250 Watt SE bulbs, 400 Watt ballast and reflector, 180 Gallon Accrylic tank and much more. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif


    I could trade cash as well. PM me if still interested.

    No, unfortunately after MACNA 2011 I have concentrated all my efforts on my business. So my Coral selection is very drab. More or less a FOWLR guy now with some added Xenia and Toadstool.


    PM me a price and we can go from there. Your'e in Waukee and I work in Johnston so if we can make a deal it will be close by.
