These are Caecilian worms. There's a lot of different species most live on land yours (T. Natans) is 100% aquatic. I've had on for a couple years now, they are a lot of fun to watch. They are amphibians and breath air so you need a shallow tank. Ideally they should be able to reach the surface for air with out swimming. I suggest a 20 long tank filled half way up. Having the tank half filled also helps prevent escape! I feed mine once a week 2 to 3 night crawlers. They seem to locate the food by smell so I cut the night crawler in half. Even so they will be the last tank occupants to find the food. If you have catfish or fast moving fish your caecilian will never get food. Have a hiding place for them and your all set.
