Hi i have a very nice and healthly kidako that im selling. I would like local pickup but i will ship if someone is interested. He is 15 or so inches and about the size of a quarter thick. These eel are rare and expensive, they go for around 500 to a 1000 dollars. I would like 200 for him, here is a pic of him

these are beutiful eels is there a specific name i should be researching as iv'e seen prices from 110.00 all the way to 1029.00 so there must be something that determines which catogory your eel will fall into. :thinking:

Unforunately, a 72 bowfront wont be suitable...you'd be looking at a 100gal. or more.
They'll also eat any small fish and/or inverts, that you have in the tank.

considering he is in a 125 and only uses about a quarter of the tank i think he would be fine, they do not get very big, AW2 not that i want to get into it with you but dont you have a dragon and a white mouth in a 90 together, alot of people would say that there tank inst big enough the white mouth which gets 4ft and the dragon 3ft and the kidako only gets 32 inches long yet a 72 isnt big enough, please refrain from posting on this site unless you are thinking of buying this eel from me, thank you as for this is a sale not a discusion

I know the Dragon and Whitemouth are too big for the 90gal...hence why it's a temp. tank until I get my 200gal. going again, which is sitting in my garage.
I understand this a sale and not a discussion. I'm just trying to watch out for the health of your eel, since you dont seem to care.
I'll refrain from posting in this thread again.

and dont think a 200 gallon is enough room for all of your live stock considering its a 4ft tank regardless of how deep it is. maybe someday you can move into your own home and have a big enough tank for your fish and then they can be truely happy, good day aw2

See...you want me to stop posting in here, so you can sell that poor eel to someone that you give bad information to but yet you keep taking pokes at me.
Need we remind everyone of the Green Moray that you insisted on taking and then the emails that I got from you and your girlfriend, whining and begging me to take it, cause it was too big and scaring you? You were the hotshot, who talked down about me and then when you realized that I'd been right the whole time, you tried back peddling. Then, when that didnt work, you revert back to talking crap, cause you're a big man on the internet. You're the type of person who is in this hobby because you think it makes you look cool to all your friends. You dont give the slightest care as to what your fish need habitat wise, etc.
When you become the caliber of hobbiest that me and all the other serious hobbiest, on this board are and have that same extent of knowledge, then you come talk to me about what's too big for what and what's overstocked, etc. You havent the slightest idea of what my livestock consists of, so we can put that to rest right now.
You can talk all the big man talk you want, but all anyone has to do is search your old posts and they'll known exactly what I'm talking about.
We can keep this up all night. It's only gonna result in you getting your thread closed and deleted. But then again, that's probably a good thing so you cant pawn that Kidako off on someone, by telling them what they want to hear, just cause you need to get rid of it.
And a good day to you, sir.

lol your a joke that lives with your mom and drives a POS honda. Dont talk to me about the needs of my fish, i know more than you probably ever thought of knowing, you didnt even know why your water was all couldy after you fed salmon geeeee huh????And secondly I was there the whole time with my girlfriend when she was writing you, do you think i would let someone give something of mine away without consulting me haha. The reason i got rid of hte green as you like to bring up so much is because he was to big for my set up. When i got him he didnt look that big, and i did get my money back out him and found him a great home so that whole situation worked out perfect. And when was i begging you to take it from me? I asked you if you wanted it because you talked a big game and I wanted to call you out on it, and just as i thought you didnt take it, not because you think im a SHLUB as you put it, but because you talk to much SH__. And you yourself didnt have the right sized tank for it. The fact of the matter is you dont like me, and i dont like you so if you see me post something that you disagree with, just dont post because me and lots of others are sick of you posting as if you know it all. Oh and ill find the kidako a good home not like your 2 eels stuck in that 90.

You've done nothing but prove my points, about you, in the previous posts.
You were sitting there, with your girlfriend, while she emailed me?? That's odd because the emailed started out by saying..."Please dont tell him I'm emailing you, cause he'd be mad at me."
Keep on keepin' on, buddy. Hopefully you can find that Moray a home suitable for it and for the sake of hobbiest everywhere, hopefully you get out of this hobby because you dont deserve to be keeping these fish.

Well for one thing.. Who cares what kind of car he/she drives? Thats great that you think you can put someone down for the kind of car they drive? Does that bother you that he drives a honda? Do you get all upset at night thinking about it? Damn, calm down buddy.
#2 Thats great your trying to sell your moray. Advice from other people can be warrented. Why dont you relax a bit. I wouldnt stick a moray in a 72 or a 90 or anything smaller than a 4'x2'.
Calm down a bit and drink some coffee maybe that will calm your nerves down a bit.

popnfresh this nonsense with aw2 has been going on since i got the green moray its unwarranted an this is his life.
Clarkm i'm not really sure about the types as there is not much information on him. Also the home i got for the green moray is much better than aw2 woulda given him as than it woulda been in a 90 with 2 other eels!!! i thought i would do aw2 a favor as the guy i got it from refused to ship. Also all i wanted was my gas money not my time! but thats long gone the green moray is more than happy. and the kidako would be more than happy in a 72 bow front for a long time! as long as it has plenty of rockwork for him to hide in

I'm not interested in getting in between ya'lls arguement, but I AM interested in buying the nice-looking eel.
Are those pics recent? You wouldn't try to sell me a corpse, would you? :thinking:
I've been looking for a bigger setup (I'm hoping for a 200+), but right now I have a 90 with no residents. {Had a Parrotfish in it... until the Parrot FLEW out Thursday night and my male Fila literally stomped it to death before I could get halfway across the room. Thinking about it now, it's kinda funny, the big ol Mastiff irate at this tiny fish for daring to come out of the tank... He was raring back like a horse and then BOOM! both paws smashing the offending fish. It was pate before he was done... But that fish had an AWESOME personality.
I should've had the tops on. }. The eel will be okay in a 90 by himself until I do find that bigger setup.
Anyway... I'll PayPal you the $200 if you'll overnight it with a heat pack wrapped in newspaper or paper towels... Email me at GoSpeedGrrrl AT yahoo.com Ironically, if you need a reference, AWs fiance Amanda can vouch that I sent her a whopping $5 for chaeto she so generously is sharing. :) Have you ever sold anything to anyone on here that will vouch for ya? Just trying to be cautious!
If anyone can help by telling us how best to do this, I'm sure the seller and the eel and I would all appreciate it.
