White eyed moray eel, what's it worth?

[rishu_pepper]

I've been advised to remove my 2'+ white eyed moray eel that I inherited from my tank's previous owner, because it is a potential threat to the tankmates.

My LFS in Canada doesn't carry it, not even on their pricing list. Can't really find anything online about the information.

How much do they usually go for? It's nice and healthy and very docile, so if I'm letting it go, I'd like to know how much I can get for it. Thanks!

They're not that expensive - $35-50 or so in the US. Not many places really stock them because there's low demand.

It won't get much bigger, and depending on what other fish you're keeping it might not be a bad tankmate. Anything 3-4" or larger should be more or less safe. They're also on average one of the calmer-tempered morays.

Thank you for your answer. I'll see if there are any takers locally.

I got mine from a local here in Michigan, 34" and fat for $40
