Glass eels

[Thomas A. Anderson]

Anyone heard of these bought one today it is very very thin and about 4 inches long and spends most of the time under the substrate.?

Do you have any small fish ie neons or other small tetras?If you do you wont have for much longer,glass eels like most other eels are predators and will readily snack on any small fish they can ambush.They grow to about 24"in the wild but i dont think they can reach that size in a tank,feed them on small live foods (bloodworm daphnia etc).

I have neons but the eel seems to be too thin to be a threat
