Anyone Had A Zig Zag Yellow Tail Eel?

[Bradley Moles]

I really want an eel or two for my tank but I don’t want something that will get too big. What all do these guys eat? Just blood/black worms and brine shrimp? Will they accept pellet food of any sort? Hard to keep?

Picked a good one didn’t you? This is what I remember about them. I think there’s two often confused. Tire track/zig zag. One get up to two and a half ft, the other about three ft. (Somewhere around two ft in aquariums) I think. Omnivores. Live food preferred. Some will accept pellets. Let’s see, give them veggie matter occasionally. Oh, nocturnal. Only need fed a few times a week. They have small scales so susceptible to injury and illness but feel totally cool. I can’t think of anything else. Someone will come along and correct me. Oh! Super clean water. Ok guys, let me have it. Tell me what I forgot. Good luck Bradley!

Really? I’ve not had any dealings with them.
