Reasearch the type of eel your looking at some grow quite fast and get big.....

Snowflake eels seem popular and stay on the smaller side...

Also make sure you have the tank set up to accomodate the eel as they can get out, but I'm not really sure if you need it covered or not....

What eel are you looking at? A dwarf golden would be awsome and they never grow big enough to be a danger..... but they are expensive and hard to find.

im looking at a baby snowflake it is about 10". do they grow quite fast?
i hear they are one of the least aggresive eels to keep as well. is this true?
