    Big day is tomorrow! Both eels will be arriving via UPS morning delivery. I will post pics once they arrive.

    On a related note, I already have a mesh top (used to have a bunch of wrasses) that easily pulls off. What should I do to weight it down to prevent jumping and possibly them knocking it out of the tank frame? It's only made of screen door framing and mesh.

    Thanks,

    Robert

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them and how much did you pay?

    I know a diver in Hawaii that is able to locate these on a fairly regular basis. They are straight from the source. :D And for the pair shipped to my house was $285.

    You shouldn't have to weigh done your top esp since they are small. They won't be that strong they will only accidents jump if they get scarred they won't plot an escape so u should be ok.

    Hey Reel4life,

    Do you want to PM me what you are looking for and I will relay the message for you. He doesn't really want his name and everything all over the internet since he is just a local guy doing this for fun and helping out a few people to find certain things.

    I will also let you know that pairs are pretty rare...he said he doesn't come by ones that he catches together very often.

    Thanks,

    Robert

    Thanks for the input. I am also planning on purchasing a bunch of plastic ramekins from my work and pre portioning a bunch of shrimp, crab, mussels, etc. and freezing them so I have portions ready to go.

    I figured this was a smoking deal and I have been on the look out for a very specific coloring for about 5 months now. This is even better! ;D
