I've had the eel for two years. It will eat frozen krill, bloodworms, earthworms, frozen bryne shrimp. It will not eat live fish. It doesn't bury itself thankfully. It's about as fat as a large florescent light bulb. It is very swift at grabbing the earthworms. That's how I got the picture. It will dart out of the cave snatch a worm and return to it's cave in a split second. I got lucky with this picture I made it have to reach for the worm.

do you not have fine substrate, or does it just prefer the cave dwelling?

Great eel dude, how personable is it, i always found them to be quite inter-active

It prefers to cave dwell. As it is way to big to try to burrow. It is shy and pokes it's head most of the time checking things out. Not agressive twards other fish at all. Has been known to snatch a worm out of my clown knives mouth. I could probably hand feed it, but it's to big of a hassel to take the plexi top off of my canopy. So I don't try. My spotted eel however it's about 10" and it is always out and about.
