IMO stay away from them.. I've heard they can get quite nasty, will catch and eat quite large fish and are a bit of a bastard to keep in the tank without solid glass lids.. If you want an eel go for either a zebra or snowflake, they don't grow as big (ribbon eels can get to 6ft long) and arn't as aggressive nor do they (generally) eat smaller fish

stick away from the eels in that small of a tank. :D

No Sven. No.

May as well just give me the money for it.
