I've been talking to owner of a local fish store about getting a used Magnum 350 from him. So I went in today and looked around for a half hour because he was busy, while looking around I saw that someone had brought in a 7" Bichir Eel recently. So I asked him how much he wanted for it, and he said $30. So I asked if I could get I could get the Magnum and the eel for $80 (The filter was $60), he said sure. So now I'm now a proud owner of a Birchir Eel. I just thought it was a good deal, and was what something like this would go for around where other people are.

Pic Pics Pics.... Congrats I think that is a good deal! The only thing I can tell you is watch that filter... I had one, it started leaking while I was on vacation. And drained about 1/4 of the tank before my dad came over to feed the fish...

Needless to say I never trusted it again, and then sold it as soon as I could replace it...

good deal but unfortunatly i have never had a bichir or a 350 so
i wouldnt know but would love to see these pics =]

yeah this one is due for a new ring on the top, but for now I've go it so the water isn't up to the top and i put a bunch of plumber's tape on it. . But the other one I have works like a charm, never had a problem with it (yet, knock on wood).

using tape to fix a leak sounds like you are asking for trouble. Get it fixed properly ASAP
