The Rope Eel

Erpetoichthys calabaricus

I keep this eel in brackish water, feed him freeze-dried tubifex, and give him tunnels to hide in. You have to be careful and keep the tank covered completely, or he will jump out. This rope eel is about five years old.

If you have any additional information on this wonderful eel, e-mail me at sholtzma@bio.indiana.edu.
