Peacock Eel

[Aqua Sanctuary]

I just got a peacock eel today. I was wondering how big they get. Does anyone have one? or pictures??

I'm trying to get him to eat blood worms with moderate success.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ask your LFS. They had to feed it something before you made the purchase?

I give mine live tubifex worms, i just put the worms in a dish and the peacock eels hunt for them.
