@dockwerker good luck bro, these are surely some interesting creatures. First when I got mine, it jumped out as well but my dog found it in time and let me know :P
@zaracki92 haha i will thx for the info, i used to have one years ago but that was a tank without a cover on it and found him under the tank. now years later and a lot smarter on how to keep fish, bought a better tank with a huge eheim filter on it so the search for an eel begins :D
@zaracki92 thats great but i dont know if i can surely upgrade in the next few months so i'll wait with getting more than this tank can handle ...if i get a new house than i'll have a nice big tank built but ye never know when ye get a house he hahaha
@dockwerker well, you could get a couple now. It'll take them a while to grow out. By that time, upgrade as you feel the need. I currently have a fire eel and tire track eel growing out in a 20 gallon tank. They'll be moved to a 180g possibly within a few months.
@zaracki92 ok, thx have a 100 gallon tank now but thats only big enough for one..always have live plants and lots of wood in it, dont like the fake stuff i always want to give them the best nature look possible thx for you're answer now i have a minimum tanksize to aim for...
@zaracki92 hahaha thx man, good dog haha so that was a close call....good luck with you're tanks too grtz....

@dockwerker depends on how many you are planning to keep. For 2~3 decent size fish, a 180 gallon would be alright. Live plants would help.
