Where to purchase wolf eel?
In the future (next 4-7 years) I plan on keeping a male wolf eel Anarrichthys ocellatus , and was wondering where I could obtain one? I know they grow quite large, and I'll probably go with a tank of 500 gallons or larger. I've checked many online stores with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thats not the species I'm looking for. Anarrichthys ocellatus is what I'm trying to find. I think it may be protected. http://www.divebums.com/FishID/Pages/wolf_eel.html

ah, that wolf eel. I'd think those would be extremely tough to get. Looks like a coldwater species as well.

First.. try this spelling. " Anarrhichthys ocellatus"
Then, be prepared to find them being sold as seafood in many cases before you actually find a juvenile live one. Yes they are a coldwater species, when young they reside in the upper portions of the reef, but become a bottom dweller as they age. Also, they arent actually an eel. The juvenile is the pretty red everyone likes, but they lose that color as they mature. They grow pretty large, so 500 gallons MIGHT be suitable. Also, their diet is heavily reliant on crustaceans which makes it a harder species to feed, especially if they refuse to eat anything but live food. Good Luck In your Search however. There are commercial fisheries that stock them. May want to check the Pacific Northwest fisheries. Creade

They are regularly cought by fisherman using trolling nets while they are devastating the reefs.........
Also, fishing for a fish and keeping it as a pet is illegal in most states. Please purchase one from a farm if you do indeed go forward with your plan.
