Wonderful Electric eels (Electrophorus electricus) from Peru reached us lately. The animals are 40-50 cm long. The three of them are astonishingly peaceful among each other and feed readily. The fish have nice pale spots on the flanks, which are typical for specimens from Peru and which make the fish even more attractive.
For our customers: the fish have code 253206 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
