macdre Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 i have come across a guy who is wanting to sell me some electric eels 4 x 3 feet and about as thick around as your fist now my question is this , has anyone had any of these and are they active, the reason i ask is because i dont want to dedicate a huge tank for a lump that sits and does nothing and that can kill me.. that being said if they are active and actively hunt than i would be more inclined however i am interested in these bad boys just dont want to lose a huge tank to some BORING fish so to speak. any thoughts or input would be appreciated. and yes i know they can kill you and yes i know with multiples it increases the likely hood of being zapped and yes i get it they are electric. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 LMAO...your post made me laugh! There's a guy at a flea market here in Calgary who has one on display...it's probably about 4ft long? and it certainly does move around...though I think his tank is a bit small for him. That's as far as my experience goes, but I did see them showcased on River Monsters...what a wierd fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdre Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 there crazy thats for sure, i have a few big tanks kicking around but i just dont want to dedicate a big one for a coupke of these things if all they do is lay on the bottom like a lungfish but what i have seen on you tube, and different animal type shows along with river monsters i think i may go ahead and get them.

Morphine Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) I'm 90% sure Doc_Polit had one of these guys that he was shocked by a while back... It might not of been him BUT someone on this site has one and it's quite big if I remember correctly. I'll try to root around and try to find the post. It could have been Evolution as well I would ask both of them, though I haven't seen either around the site lately! Good Luck.
