African eels

[eklikewhoa]

just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about them, own one or know where to get one. its a native of the african lakes and looks freaking cool!

i know that RonR has one and his pictures is what sparked my intrest in the eel.

here's a link to what im talking about. Aethiomastacembelus elipsifer

here are some links i found about the A.elipsifer and A.plagiostoma, not sure whats the difference in them now.

I was at Aquarium World last week and I don't recall seeing any there.  It's possible I could have missed it though.

Re: African eels

The eel I saw was hiding and just happened to come out while I was watching.

Re: African eels

I think so, and it was towards the front of the aisle. It snuck out of a rock.

BTW - did I see you and your fiance coming out of Village last Sunday around 4pm? It looked like you but I only saw you as you were walking away.
