Typhlanectes Natans

Does anyone know anything about these eels? Their common name is Sicilian eel I believe and they are black, quite slow and although in my tank with livebearers, don't seem aggressive to little fish? Have any of you got one, or know anything about them please? Linda

They're also known as rubber eels, and are actually amphibians rather than fish. Would be worth reading the threads in the amphibians and reptiles forum a bit further down the page.
