caecilian worm

does anybody know anything about these?
also known as Rubber Eels, had a bit of a look on the net but limited information, reason for asking is theres one in the tank i'm getting next weekend :clap:
only about 160ltr but its to help with moving my fish around and make room for the new ones i'm hoping to get, it does have a few other fish but i'll talk more about them when it arrives :thumbup:
Tank also comes with some good external filtration which should boost my own to cope with the Panaque when he turns into a big sawdust machine.
Thanks Peeps

Have you seen these sites, Terry?

HTH!

I had seen the 1st 2 sites but not the 3rd thank you, they seem fairly easy to cater for as long as the other tankmates don't mind bother it.
Never even seen them in the shops, hadn't heard of them till this tank came up.
Should be interesting will obviusly try to get pics n vids for the forum.

Good luck with it - I've never heard of them before your post, so I learned something researching it. Would love to see vids of it here!

Wow that looks really interesting and i havent heard of one either, but then again i still have lots to learn, cant wait to see pics and vids B-)

Hi all,
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere there importation from Brazil is now banned or at least restricted? I believe the species imported is normally Typhlonectes compressicauda.

The "Rubber Eels" differ from all the other Caecilians, in that they are aquatic as adults.

Lots more information "Amphibiaweb"
