M. panacalus? Not much out there....they stay small, care/feeding is much the same as with the other spiny eel species. I have a couple that have stayed about 8" over the past 4 years.
 
Thanks, I'm having trouble finding information, I'm hoping to get one!

One other thing, are there any other breeds of spinys that stay that size?

Probably, but none available to the trade that I am aware of...the striped peacock eel is probably the next smallest available.
 
Thanks, my LFS might be able to help.
 
Will it need sand or will small gravel do? How deep will the sand/gravel need to be?
