Welcome to Fish-keeping.com m8 hope you enjoy our forums.
Not got one myself ...but have caught a couple of eels in the past fishing, not the electric eel kind.
I would say not many would own one of these as they can grow to between Six to eight feet long in the right connditions....were do you keep this yourself ? I would say a very large tank in doors or do you have a nice size shallow pool aerated, filtered and heated outside ?
Let us know

That sounds like a nice new home for it .....do you have any fish at all or is it just the eel.
yes i also have 5 blue eyd panaques. i am an experienced hobbyist and had my own shop once aswell as 30+ tanks from marine, freshwater brackish to coldwater brackish, coldwater and tropical. i have kept a huge array of various tricky species but my eel is my fav

@ lost
Over the years I have had tropical fish, cichlids, marine tanks loads of and 3 Koi ponds
nothing as fancy as yours........
I did have 6 marine tanks going at the same time in each room in the house until the mrs put her foot down and now back to just the one in the back room which is a 6x2x2
I'm 3/4 the way doing my new koi pond which as been on going for the last 3 months it is just over 2100 gals
so into my fish in a small way
