Anybody have any leads on a Radiata Lion or a Skeletor Eel? Final two fish I need to finish my stocking....haven't been able to find either. I have several LFSs looking as well with no luck.

How big is your tank? I went with a zebra eel when I couldn't find the skeletor! I adore her :)
Tank is 180.....about 240 total water volume. I thought about the zebra but they get a little too large bodied for my scape unfortunately.

Thanks......I will check those sites. :) Have you ever ordered from any of these? Pete's Aquarium does have the Radiata (I ran across that site in my searching) but it seemed cheaper than most other sites....I was concerned lol. I have it in the cart waiting your approval :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Ah yeah they probably do! Do you have any other eels?

And I would use him again. I did order a trigger who came in fine from him. Ghost (my snowflake eel) came in injured with 3 slashes on her head but she pulled through. I still have her over a year later. I emailed him about her injuries and he was supportive and told me if she got worse or didnt make it to let him know. But Ive found eels are really really hardy! Dr reef I didnt have a good experience with to be honest, none of the fish I got from him made it long

No, I do not have any additional eels. This new build is a semi-predator LPS tank.....the Skeletor will be the only one, if I ever find him lol. Ok, I will order the Radiata from Pete's aquarium. I do wonder why they shipped you an eel with injuries? Thanks for your help!

The one with the white eyes and purple head is a white eye moray, and the dark speckled one is a jeweled eel

Thanks....I will look into it. I tried adding to cart and it isn't letting me which normally tells me they don't have it in stock but I sent them an email asking. :)
