been on the look out now for a fire eel. i cannot seem to find any over 6 inch in length. does anyone know of the best place to get one from.
also someone told me that freshwater snowflake moray eels would also be nice but i thought they only did marine moray eels???
any help really appreciated.

Have you tried Aquarist Classified? Lots of people on there trying to get rid of big fish.
 
Too bad your not in the states. My friend has 3-4 over 12" each for sale at his shop.

"Kicking a man as he's down" as they say lol only joking, this always seems to be the case for me. Fish I'm after, tanks, bargains of some sort, all seem to be to far away :(

I have the same problem, all these fish in Europe, that I never see here.

Most, if not all my fish I now get mail ordered as most of my LFS don't seem to have what I'm after. Don't get me wrong I don't have or never have had any rare kinds of fish but at the same time I don't just want to go out and buy something that a lot of other people I happen to know own... If you get what I mean. When it comes to tanks it's a harder to get a bargain, not many people in my area own and/or sell bigger tanks that I'm interested in. They all seem to be tanks in the region of 100-200 litres (25-50US gallons) which for the fish I like to keep would be unsuitable. Makes it worse not having suitable transport to travel further for bigger tanks
 
Hi there,

I may be able to help you on your search for a Fire Eel - At the moment we have one in our tank which is 15 inches (ish) called Mr.Lee who could be looking for a new home due to office relocation. He feeds thawed bloodworm cubes from hand and does have a few scrathes on him from the rocks in the tank. He is a sensitive soul as he doesn't like the UV light on. If we were to let him go i'd really like to find him a nice new home to be cared for.

i could guarentee him a great home. His size is ideal as he will still have plenty of room to grow till my huge tank will be sorted.
where abouts are you in the country? (fingers crossed)
many thanks

hi i would also be interested if you could get a picture or find a similar image on google to show me then that would be great. i do travel up and down the country. i see your in essex which is nearly 200miles away but if fish can be sent via post im sure if i collect with a polly box i could get them home safe and sound.
i am up near manchester
 
Hopefully I'm going there this weekend and it is a quite large eel and from what I have seen of it and the warning signs say it does bite. I'll try and find a pic on google to show you if I don't get one from my lfs in the mean time
