austin - 2011-03-28 I have a zig zag eel and it likes to bury himself in the rock. I feed him frozen blood worms. He was only $8.35 at nolans. I'v'e had him for about 2 months and it is about 6 inches. I think it will only get as big as the tank you put it in. So don't freak out when it says minimum 54 gallon tank.
Meg - 2010-03-01 My eel is an escape artist! I have found it in the filter twice and once on the floor under the fish tank (mind you thats some drop..poor thing). He has eaten every baby fish since its arrival but it keeps to itself most of the time. Its about 6-7 inches now. Had it about a year!

ZK - 2010-05-15 My Mom and I have a ZigZag Eel it is thriving, but sometimes we get worried, we need and like websites like this because it tells us how to care for our eel.
Anonymous - 2009-06-29 I have a zig zag eel along with a White Tip shark (a kind of catfish), a pleco, and some mollies. The Zig Zag eel is a really good community fish and does not hurt my fish. The White tip shark is best friends with the eel (I think the shark thinks it is one of its own because it is a school fish, did not know that at the time) and hangs out with the eel. It is an easy pet, eats bloodworms, and looks plain cool. Its name is Ziggy.
sissy mcguire shwang - 2008-09-23 I once had a zig zag eel and I fed it stuff right, and like it would eat it. Then one night it didn't eat so i fed it more, but it wouldn't eat. So then I called my mommy and she fed it and it still wouldn't eat. Then mommy said it was dead. I got a gold fishy instead. His name is elmo and I feed him hot dogs for food.
The Zig Zag Eel is a long time aquarium favorite, and it has been known for over 200 years!

Why is my zig zag eel not eating? What is his food?
What are you feeding him or her? You should be feeding it blood worms or earth worms.

It's weird looking, but it's kind of cute actually!
