Just wanted to show the newest member of my tanks. Got him monday for payment for cleaning tanks at my LFS. He is a little over a foot long and quite a piggy.

Very nice. Be prepared for it to grow fast. Mine grew about an inch a month for 6 months before I traded it back to the LFS.

Oh, and they can be very fast. Mine got me once when I was hand feeding my B/W Clowns. I wasn't paying attention to where it was and it came flying out of the rocks and grabbed my finger. It let go right away but not before it left 4 little holes in it. (Which I immediately washed out really well with water and then hydrogen peroxide)

Same here. It will get to 20+" in a year. LOL. Very nice eels though, relatively mild mannered.

Hes in a 150g tank. Went to feed last night and he bit one of my lions twice.
