I had a dinosaur eel from Petsmart and it ate my black molly's left fin and tail.

Thats all? Must have been just a baby to only take the fins.

 

[wavetide]

Yep just a baby

About 3-4 inches long

needless to say I had to return it

It was interesting... especially the way it attacked algae wafers

very much looked like a snake

Well I hope it doesn't eat my Black finned sharks! LOL!

So how big did yours get?

I wish they would stop selling them as dinosaur eels but if they found out what they were theyre prices would prolly go up lol.

It depends on the species....the retropinnis complex rarely exceed 11", whereas P. endlicheri congicus can exceed 44".
