I used to have a bichur eel, more commonly known as a dinosaur eel. He was really neat and used his fins to walk on the bottom of the tank. He ate fish flakes, blood worms, and little minnows. He used to follow my finger around the bottom of the tank. I say used to because my ex roommate stole him. Nothing could be done about it. Eels do need a heater to regulate warm temperatures in the aquarium. I do not have one anymore, but am determined to have another and another Bichur one day.
