My electric eel is just over 3 feet now, such an interesting creature! This is a great clip (vintage) on the electric eel:

The place where I'm working at sells some too. at about $90 USD. If I'm not wrong they are about 3in - 4 in only.
My question would be is it safe too put them with other aggressive fishes ?

Coz currently I've a African featherfin knife fish and I'm afraid if they get into a fight, the electric eel/ knife would shock him to death =/

I had 5 of them before and they grew fats till reaching close to 4 feet and slow down from there and yes they are knifefish and not an eel. More closely related to the carapo knifefish and tiger knifefish as both are from the same family gymnotidae. They eat like there is no tomorrow and will eat just pretty much anything you offer them. They are also an air breather.

King-eel, since you are also in the philippines, where can I get one? Have any idea?
