New "Gold Tulip Eel" (Albino Swamp Eel)

[Polyptasaurus]

I just got this beautiful beast. I had a regular one... 11 years ago. He didn't last long though.

Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY kept one of these guys before? Now a tropical tank? What did you feed it? Water temperature?

I got one of these 11 years ago and never saw another again. I've also asked 100 stores if they can get one and nobody has ever even known what I was talking about. So getting info on them is impossible...

Any useful info would be greatly appreciated.

(The videos won't upload so I'll get some good pics tomorrow)

I'm jealous I've wanted one for over 5 years I still remember the 1st picture I saw of 1 it was standing on it's tail amidst plants and it kinda looked like someone had stuck a pink dildo in the tank and that made me want one just for shock value

I reaaaally need some advice on feeding them. I can't get them to eat and I've had fish for 13 years. I know my stuff. But nothing is working.
