i was @ petco the other day to get crickets for my lizrd, pellets for my oecar, and filter media. well i decided to look at the tanks while i was waiting for my crickets and i saw some little eels about 3-4". the price was $14.99, and i was a little unsure because of my past experience with a fire eel. so i got my crickets, ff,and media then left. a few days later i said what he heck and went back to get one, or five. well they only had 2 and my brother wanted one so we each got one. ended up paying $5.99 with PALS card! . so now its in a 29 gal. eaing frozen brine shrimp and blood worms. oh ya, its a tire track eel. i know they get too big for the 29, so i might put it in with my 75gal. with my school of "rocket gars" when i get them.
p.s. i though eels didnt color up untill they're at least 8". idk why, i guess 'cause my fire eels was pretty drab untill about 10" then he lit up the tank.
so what u think? i for one wasnt sure about buying from petco like that tho, just 'cause everyfish i buy from there doesnt want to eat and eventually dies. but i had them feed it first and they both attacked a ball of brine shrimp. whats good mixers with these guys? ive got a blue gill aout 3" with it right now, just 'cause.
