I'm not sure they meant to, might of been a surprise switch of orders. I've never seen one before in person, and I have to agree with whatcaneyedo as they really are amazing looking eels.

I do agree it is unfortunate these continue to come in. Some stores do not order them in anymore, they just "show up" in livestock orders. Many still do though. And then for those eels "smart" enough to start eating prepared foods they will most likely find a way out of the aquarium eventually. It is sad, and it is this way for so so many beautiful fishes out there.
