    ? On eel

    SFE's (snowflake eels) tend to be fine until they hit about 18"-20", and at that point, tend to go postal and start in on their tankmates...it's about a 50-50 chance at best. And yes, they can bite. I was bitten twice...once my hand was in the tank, and the second time the eel stuck its...
