No problem, I had been wanting to post feeding time with my eel, I just never got around to it. You gave me the motivation I needed to do it
I know I have a pistol shrimp in my tank and my eel is fine with him. I had/have? sexy shrimp and a peppermint shrimp, however these shrimp are very good at hiding and I have no idea if they are still alive or not. I only see them 2-3 times a year so it's possible they are alive or if they are not it's possible one of my other fish (and not the eel) ate them. My eel will sometimes look like he's trying to nip at my smaller fish however he is pretty slow and he never gets close enough to them to even touch them. I have a green clown goby in the tank with him and my eel hasn't bothered him at all.

I'd love to get a dwarf eel but don't want to cover the top of my tank?
Thanks

No lid. I do have a cap on my tank that is 7 inches tall
So maybe that helps, however my eel always stays close to the rock work (like he has to be touching the rock as he swims through the tank) and he has never tried to swim in the open or anywhere near the top of the tank.
