My new male Japanese Dragon eel
 

Picked up my new male Japanese Dragon eel today and thought I'd share some pics of him (very bad picks but hopefully when he comes out of hiding I can actually get a good one lol ). A big thanks to Wendel at Ocean Aquatics for getting him in for me and for always being right on top of things and being the most helpful store owner by a long shot. He's about 2 feet long right now (not Wendel lol) and have to say it's much more impressive in person than the pics I've seen of them or of the ones that I took . Anyways I'm gonna leave the lights off for a few days and just let him settle in (except for water testing cause a fairly new tank) and when he starts popping his head out will try for a better shot of him.

very nice
 

Thats sweet post up some more pics when ya get'em.Gotta love OA.Clint

WOW! That is a very cool addition! Can't wait to see more pics.

Wendell is a great guy, I gotta agree, he's always been more than helpful!

I updated the pics above cause he had his head sticking out when I went to check on him so snapped a couple pics off. Had one great shot of him where his mouth was wide open and showed off his long jagged teeth and red chin but was all fuzzy. What can you do me and picture taking just don't go hand in hand lol.

very nice eel must have cost a pretty penny!

Very cool Jim. I guess I just missed you and it. Janet and Wendell where still talking about how amazing it is.

Whow Jim that is one fine (fish) eel.

Once he is settled in I will have to drop buy and have a long hard look.

Ya not cheap but Wendel got it for me for less than half of what the other stores wanted for a Hawaiian dragon and the Japanese are the hard ones to get up here (the other stores couldn't even get me one) so can't thank him enough . When I went to pick it up he said it ended up costing him a $100 less than he thought so he took it off the original price where most stores wouldn't say anything and just kept the extra hundred (very cool of him). I ended up bringing home a sweet red and white australian acan as well thanks to the extra hundred dollars

Ya thanks man. Well Janet was drooling away cause were both into eels and I'm sure she's now bugging Wendel to track her one down as well lol. Next time you go should give me a call and can both head down seeings were so close

Hey Tom your always welcome and still wanting to have the wife come out and see your tanks in all there glory lol
