My new eel

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
:cry: Makes me miss my American Eel

Just make sure that your lid is sealed tight. Even if you read this and say, ehh I'll be alright, no ya' wont, seal it. And if you have a hang on filter, you might want to tape the top of it down. I hade everything sealed up on my tank, but one morning I woke up to find the cover to my filter on the floor and my eel down on the first floor from my second floor tank, he died a few days after.

But these are some great fish, very personable and will eat just about anything. Watching them tear apart food from a big chunk of fish is pretty cool as well. Good luck with your little guy!
 
haha i hope u didnt pay too much for that thing... i cud just throw out a hook and worm just down the road n catch one for u :P
 
I put locking hinge type latches on my tank when keeping these, they can easily push open most tank covers.
 
A little showing off of my guy, a cool shot that I got of him. Grew to about 18"

I kept him in full salt.
 
out of curiosity how large is he now? and by the way as he stated its not an american eel its a european eel. also know as shortfinned eel. very similar but not the same thing. my largest one was about 42" and about as big around as my wrist when I sold him.
