What do they eat? I know they can get BIG. Someone told me as long as you feed them worms they wont mess with your fish? Is that True? Are they hard to keep? Are they Hard to feed? Whats there favorite foods? Any advice in advance would be great!

Thanks, Arkangel77​

They get about 3 feet long, around 3-4 inches in diameter, and they will eat anything that will fit in their mouths. I don't think they are especially picky about water (so long as it's clean of course), or what you feed them so long as it's meaty. They WILL eat other fish if they can fit in the eel's mouth. Other than that I don't know much about them.

Here's a good site with lots of info
