Had this fella for the past 4 years or so. One of my favorite fish. Still the pickiest eater I have, only eats worms, dried krill, or chunks of squid and shrimp. I love him though.
My fire eel!

Really the lighting isn’t doing him justice, he has some very nice reds (especially his spine). Always been quite personable, I have gotten him to eat from my hand from time to time, though most times I forgo it since he seemingly mistakes my fingers for worms and gives m his sandpaper nibble.
This fish is probably 14-16 inches now and currently in a 125 gallon. The current tank has 2 ornate bichir (male is about 10 inches I would say, female is about the same size as the fire eel, maybe a tad shorter), a lap bichir in the 11 inch range, 2 Oscars, 2 what I believe to be midas cichlid, though unsure, and one red terror male (about 6 or 7 inches). There is also a 11 inch chocolate pleco, a 6 inch Royal pleco, 3 striped Raphael, and a 4-5 inch yoyo loach.
