I am planning on adding a zig zag eel (or two) to my 55 gallon aquarium. I already spoke with some friends and they said it should be safe to add with my current stock. However, I am confused about their size. Some sources say 8 inches and other sources say three feet. How big do they get? Can I keep a pair?

Zig Zags stay small so you're good. Tire Tracks and Fire Eels get three feet.
You should be able to keep a pair. I don't see why not. Eels are usually compatible together.

zig zags should be kept in small groups. i would keep a min of 3 while generally not aggressive as others they still do better in groups. it spreads out the dominant fishes aggression between multiple fish not just 1.
just make sure they arent tire tracks. zigs and tts get confused all the time.

Thank you. If I can find the tang eel I would get it. Any idea what most pet stores feed zig zag eels?
Blood worms and if big enough ghost shrimps it's so cool how they hunt them down!
I saw some on aqua bid and petzone and both ship

I don't like the idea of ordering fish online. Would they eat brine shrimp? Also, can you hand feed eels?
