Yup, they are more like an eel than anything else and as they get larger they get more destructive (ie rearrange rockscape eat smaller fish).

They definitely can eat smaller fish. Had to get rid of one for that reason. Not a fun time.

Thanks. By small, how small do you mean? I want to add some 3+inch pipefish. They’re long, but really thin/short.
