It will eat anything it can get in its mouth. We don't need more videos.

From what I understand it is fish they can catch. Eels are not very fast and hunt at night. Fish that are tiny and un aware can become dinner.

But to be fair, you are in the "PREDATORY FISH" forum!

I think it has to be really small fish tho. I had my 5" half banded spiny eel for months with an inch Otocinclus and guppies. Pretty sure she could swallow them if she tried but never ate them.

Any fish will likely eat any other fish that will fit in its mouth, it is nature.

sorry guys I put the video up as I just wanted to point out that the OP clearly had some involvement in those videos so clearly knows that his eel will eat what ever it can catch.

I will edit the post to take out the video as so many have said they did not want to see it, which I totally agree with and understand.
