Anything I should know as far as little helpful tips when housing an eel?

I've not had an eel but I've heard from the lfs that they can be escape artists. So a tight fitting lid and something to block him from getting into the intake/ output of your filter are probably good ideas.

GOOGLE can be a good starting point. Not an end point, but at least a start. Rubber Eel is not a fish, it is an Amphibian, or more specifically, an aquatic Caecilian. Lots of things are called "Eels", so you have to be careful what you are getting. Gets fairly large as I recall seeing the common species over 18 inches in stores.
