I second that.

yeah exactly,
and considering my tank isn't even with me yet,
it would be at least 3 months before i could put in an eel.
Oh well, if you still have it by then Kris, let me know!

eels are generally very hardy and would do just fine in a newly cycled tank... just so long as it is completely cycled. i haven't met anyone who has said otherwise.

only thing with eels is the need for a tight fitting lid.
