wow! Ive never head of those before. He looks cute!
They're pretty small--about 13" full grown--and they don't show up in pet stores very often. I'd been looking for one for over a year before giving up, and just happened to stumble across an online seller in New Jersey last week that has some.

Pretty neat critter!

These are great eels! I had a white eyed morey for several years. He ate pellets! Very nice and easy eel.

Beautiful moray, it feels good to see some more of the species on the rarer side on this forum, it helps to understand the characteristics of each species more!

Agreed. Not that I don't love the handful of species we typically see for sale, but with more than 200 known species, it's a little disappointing we don't see more variety in the trade.

Back in the eel side of the hobby. Here are my new little guys:

These are QT pics sorry for quality. The Echidna rhodochilus is from ‘Upscale Aquatics’, the banana and fimbriatus are from Tankstop.
