Holy cow. That thing IS expensive. I hope its worth it. Itd better poop pure gold or something...!!!

 

[Fishyfanatic]

Wow, that thing isn't even pretty to look at.

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Awsome, lol.

Can you imagine if you had a fish that pooped pure gold? Man, I'd over feed it so much and hook up 10 filters to the tank.

 

[Zagz]

Moved to Saltwater general as the eel is saltwater.

A very very expensive and probably not worth the money specimen. LOL.

 

[hc8719]

imo, you can get similar looking eels for $100, but if you really want that one...

 

[Deitta]

My last car cost less! Yikes!
I like to fantasize about having so much money that I COULD afford a species like this....

Too bad even in my most wild fantasies I wouldn't spend that much! I guess if eels were really your thing.... nope, can't imagine.

 

[Innovator]

I prefer wholesale at under $500

 

[roka64]

LOL! The funny thing, I was just looking at that today!

 

[DragonForce]

I've seen this guy in person a few times, very striking!

 

[Squado]

Yeah my lfs has one of those, its been sitting their for months now. Although its really expensive that eel is pretty bad ass when you see it in person.....

 

[Scottm]

The teeth on those guys are very impressive in person.

 

[GuOD]

Wow, that is expensive.

I saw a frogfish last night which was hideous and $500 CDN (XXL size)

The thing apparently bites in 1/6000 of a second. (frogfish)
