I posted this the other day, but it seems to no longer be on here, I don't know what happened. I am looking to set up a species only tank with a Fimbriated Eel in it. I am having trouble finding care information for these eels however. I have seen a couple members on here who have had these eels for several years so any information you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Here are a couple of the questions I have:

1. What are the water parameters?
2. What is the minimum tank size? (I read 50g on a site, is this accurate?)
3. Is live rock necessary or are regular rocks of for hiding places?

I may add more questions if I think of more. Thanks in advance!

hmm... tank size 100gal? looks like I'll have to wait to get this guy:cry:

looks like a snowflake is the only feasible eel for now. i'm glad i checked out the "50 gal" tank size that the website stated. thanks for the info!
