The Kidako Eel is often considered to be the “Holy Grail” amongst aquarium owners who keep Eels. Kidako Eels are a rare find in the aquarium industry and are originally from the waters of the Western Pacific. Kidako Eels are great for a reef aquarium but they can feed on crustaceans, so it is best to keep the Kidako Eel in an aquarium that is mostly fish. This Eel is a carnivore and should be fed a steady diet of shrimp and other meaty foods.
