Does Anyone Know Anything About Keeping This Fish?

[GobyMaster]

There are some for sale at Franksaquarium.com.
Anyone know how big they get, their diet, ect?
Thanks,

I presume you mean Monopterus albus which comes in an albino form ?

They get to over 30 inches long and are predators that will eat anything they can get into their jaws, smaller fish tend to eat things like worms and large insect larvae but adults eat almost only other fish.

If you want to google it, it's also known as a tulip eel. Bricks on the tank lid to keep it in.

Okay, so I doubt it could be kept in a 30 gallon tank, right?
Thanks,

It would probably survive in a 30g tank as they are almost indestructable as long as they dont dry out, but i think the moral issues of actually being able to move should be a consideration.

True, I guess I could put one in my 55 gallon.
