Finally caught the little guy. He is about 10-12" I think, hard to tell.

Asking $200...I bought it for this price 2 years ago and was 7-8" then, it grew a bit I just wanna break even.

why are you getting rid of him and was he reef safe with your fish and inverts?

 

[Frank@Wall]

I'm selling all my stock so that is the reason its going as well. Redoing my tank. I don't recommend having small inverts meaning little hermits or little snails. Never bothered shrimps nor any of my fishes.

not reef safe completely. i had it be4. it's actually safer for inverts than small fish

master of escape so a hooded tank is a must.

IME....i had 3 of these guys (yes a hood is a must because i lost two to carpet surfing and one time there was a real small opening it found). I had clown gobies and a flaming prawn goby that went in my eels home and it totally left them alone. If you feed your eel 2-3 times a week it will never bother anything.....i cant speak for anyone else. Definitely a beautiful animal glws.

i happen to agree with frankie, most of the people who had these eels and kept them fed at least 3 times a week never had any issues and theres a few reefers that have them in their coral and fish dominated reef tanks. im willing to give this guy a try. not many reef safe eels out there besides the tiny garden eels variety which i already have that live in the sand bed so all you ever see is their heads popping out. theres a lot of you tube clips with the Hawaiian Yellow Dwarf Eel in reef tanks that leave everything alone.

Lol.... You probably saw my videos. I put up a few educational videos on youtube. It comes down if you starve an animal, its gonna hunt to eat.. Just nature. imo i believe that the dwarf eel is a scavanger by nature. It rather get that easy meal than to catch prey. They have excellent sense of smell and poor eye sight for a reason.

I am in the market for another one, but im looking for a male with the speckles all over the back.... Good luck with sale frank.. Didnt mean to hijack the thread. You have a beautiful eel.
