Typically, they max out around 30-36" but there are several that have hit 40", and I believe a rare one or two have pushed past the 40" mark.

I started feeding my TTE frozen shrimp and blood worms, he likes to take them from my hand, actually, I put a section that has melted on the tip of my finger, and he reaches up and takes it suddenly tonight after I finished feeding him, he ran down to the bottom of the tank and started beating himself all around the tank, like swimming on his side, and hitting his upper body. Almost like a fish would that had a parasite however, it just was sudden and all over the bottom of the tank and suddenly he stopped and came back up to the top wanting more food but I stopped. Could it be that he had eaten too much at once and got choked and this was him trying to relieve the situation
Just make sure your hands are clean (and not by washing with fragranced soap). This could be him reacting to something on your hand other than the bloodworm and trying to get the smell/taste out of his nose/mouth. He would then be a little more wary of doing same again.
What a crazy coincidence that this thread was bumped the same month I decided to log in for the first time for several years. I actually sold the eels and my 220 back in 2019. It’s a long story…
I’ll try to update the thread with some of the pictures I have of them when they were older.

These are some of the last pictures I have of them. The two longer ones were about 30” at the time and the smaller one was around 24”. I sold them to a guy that wanted all my fish for his 400 gallon show tank in his living room.
