The eel arrived healthy and looks exactly as described. It’s quite active and has adapted well to the 150-gallon tank. I’ve had to be careful with tank placement and avoid small fish, but it’s a striking addition to the display.

It’s a powerful and visually impressive eel. Feeding is straightforward with meaty foods. The tank needs to be large and stable, which I’ve ensured. I recommend only for experienced marine hobbyists.

The eel is aggressive and requires a lot of space. I had to reposition some decorations to give it room to move. Feeding is simple, but it’s not a beginner-friendly species.
