    The Skeletor eel :p Not sure if the name will stick but just wanted to share the newest addition to the predator tank! I put him in last night, here are a few pics of him acclimating. He was not cooperating today during his photo shoot, but I was able to get a pic of him hiding in his cave.
    There was not much info out there on these eels so I hope to learn and be able to share anything I learn from him!

    Thanks! He is currently in a 65 gallon. Will move him to the 90 later if needed...
    Thanks! He seems happy and healthy. Eating anything I throw in the tank :)
