Dwarf Redtail Eel

Natural Range: Unknown Source: Hobbyist Bred and Raised in Europe Estimated size at shipping: 3-5" Adult Size: around 6-7" Sold as: Unsexed Overview: The prettiest freshwater eel we've ever seen. No one knows exactly what species they are. They were bred and raised by a hobbyist in Europe, but we don't know the exact origin of the parents. Whatever they are, they have proven easy to care for and quite hardy. Word on the street is that they don't grow larger than 7". Some of our customers have had theirs for over a year, and so far, none have grown larger than 6"-7", so we are fairly confident that these will stay small. Diet: Carnivore These eels are eating well on frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, live Neocaridina shrimp, and live scuds. We find they will readily train to eat Hikari Vibra Bites and other dry prepared foods, but this batch has not yet been trained on dry foods.
