How's my fire eel's color?

[Irecruitfish]

I have this fire eel in a grow out tank for 7 months now and it should be ready to transfer to my 125 in a bit. Later it will go into a 220.

All I fed it are frozen bloodworms and frozen brine shrimp.

Is the color ok? Seems slightly lighter in color than what I see online but the ones I saw online were larger. I'd say this fish is about 6 inches.

Did I post this in the wrong section?

Kind of. People usually post about spiny eels in the eel section under bottom dwellers. I don't look into fire eels much but I'd say for 6" he's got some some nice colors I seen larger one s be less colorful.

Hikari frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and spriluna brine shrimp. Tried mysis shirmp but it spit it out.

Thx for taking a look. I plan on putting it in the 125 soon then.

You seem to be doing pretty good with yours.Mine was a very finicky eater when I had it.
