Great looking e eel. How big is he and what is his diet?

BTW, I moved the thread to where it'll get better viewing. Check out the other E eel threads in this forum.
 
Okay to answer some questions. The tank is 220 gal. The ell is right @ three feet plus. He had like 6-10' inches in a 55 gal. So far he has been pretty spoiled @ my lfs eating gold,koi,bullhead,guppys,treats of angels. The plan is to try to get him to eat chunks of frozen market fish mixed types knowing me. As of being shocked i have not been zapped with any real force. This same ell put a grown man on his butt after being startled. The store owner grabbed him with two ten inch nets no gloves. This ell has a ton of personality, being as cool as he is he loves the attention. he rarely eats anything that is not fresh and would rather eat from your hand then then chase live or dead food. I do pet this ell but have been very careful not to spoke him. He more or less pets me.
