I would of said the colours get better as they get larger

I've seen some colors fade and some colors get brighter. So I don't think there is a definite answer. Diet and water quality should play a big role.

No I read that they get more colorful as they get older.

It's the other way around for the tiretrack eels.

If you feed your fire eel we'll and keep it in clean water its colors will only get better

Tire track as the same way but it seems some will still have there patterns fade no matter how there kept
