Is This Price Fair?

[PRW1988]

I was looking at the website of one of my LFS (Big Als) and every week they have a special on fish, well this week they happen to have fire eels on for $11.99 (canadian), is that a good price? I'm not sure sure how large they are and I'll be visiting today, so I need to decide quickly!

Fire eels get huge,
18"+

There are many people on here who
have these beautiful eels.

They need alot of space but are
great if you can look after them

got a 120 gallon with my arowana and clown knife in it, so I think I'm good for space... Untill I upgrade again to a 250ish gallon tank, then I know I'm set for space ~_~

that price seems great I have just lost a fire eel that I had for about a year,(choked on some gravel which blocked it's stomach) it was about 12in, I am replacing it this week for a slightly larger one (about 15in) and I am paying £40.00 they do each 2ft plus so be warned, but when I went to see my new fire eel at my lfs I was struck by how beuitiful I thought it was, an opinion not shared by most of the people in the shop who thought it was ugly or scary so they seem to be an aquired taste if you get one enjoy it although I do not expect you will rarley see it feed.
