Yes, I understand the fragile aspects of this species. I understand that all odds are against me in keeping him, but let me elaborate about this specific eel.

I bought him from Old Orchard Aqauriums. 1 month ago I first saw him, after reading about them for years, and knew I had to have him. I went back in tonight to look for a black oscelleris clownfish, which they had, then went and saw him. I asked if he was eating. They said, not only is he eating, he is eating FROZEN KRILL. I wouldn't believe them until they showed me. They got some krill on a pair of tongs, put it in front of him, and he downed it like nothing. Ate like 4 of em. I asked him how much, he said 130. I was like $$$SOLD$$$$. I went to be rung up, and he only charged me 99 for him, he always gives me a nice discount.

Long story short, I am now the proud owner of a frozen food eating blue ribbon eel.
I am in the process of drip acclimating him right now, so be prepared for in tank pics in a few hours.
Also, I have attached pictures of the top of my tank, after I sealed it with packing tape, do you think I have enough to keep him in? I don't want to take ANY chances.
(Gets prepared to be yelled at for picking such a species)

I also hope he will not eat my clown or royal gramma, but I understand that is mostly a dream scenario. If they survive long enough for me to buy a nano(within the week), then they will go in my sisters room.
