Hi
I have a 450 gallon tank and am looking to add fire eels to it and would love them to get 3 feet long though I've had fire eels in the past in this tank and they seem to stop growing right as they hit the 18" mark, but i've read they grow to over three feet. I have heard that some get 3 feet and others get 18" and was wondering if this is true and if so it there a way I would be able to tell before I buy them so they will get big. Thanks.
