    Everyone one thinks my engineer goby is an eel. He does swim and look like an eel. Probably gets about a foot long.

    snowflake eels i have 2 of them and you can keep a full grown in a 20 by himself as long as proper shelter is provided i have 2 i na 55 they get about 30 inches and are really really cool zebra morays get really big and need atleast a 175 im pretty sure go with either a snowflake or a white ribbon eel but snowflakes are hardier
