hey man,
just wondering, if it was illegal i dont think PCS will let you source one on this site.
its probably illegal for a reason

anyway, nice to see you on the site

i hear they are illegal now

[alex101]

i dunno it might be illegal my lfs said it was lol

well does anyone have they they dont want or does anyone breed them

[Cawdor]

If your LFS said they were illegal please do not ask for them here. We do not allow dealing in illegal fish.

[alex101]

sorry

kk im sry wont post anymore banned fish.

well are there any fish that resemble an eel that are legal and common that are large??? dont say kuhli loaches they are hidden all the time

[Vebas]

Spiney eels aren't illegal, but it is simply not viable to import them any more as now they must be professionally identified on arrival at the importers cost.
We have a few that were traded in by a customer at the shop now, ~15cm long for $40.00ea. They are the first ones I've seen for a while and I don't expect to see them again any time soon.

ummm ill come in and buy them if its all right can you put one on hold??? or if not i could probably come on saturday and get one

[alex101]

so do you still have them?? cos im intrested

[Cawdor]

If you're after something urgently it's probably better to just call them. Phone number is in the signature

Spiny eels hide as well, to the point thats all you see (the point of their nose sticking out)

[alex101]
