Paddle tail eel. does anyone have one

[skiweeangel]

I have recently come across a paddle tail eel at my favorite fish store. I am just about to start researching them, but I was looking for feed back from anyone that has one. How well do they do in a community tank of peaceful fish? I have small gravel for substrate, with two HOB's (aqua clear 70 and aqueon quiet flow 50). 6 congo tetra, 10 gold long finned danios, 11 panda cories..

Can you get the scientific name?

Just to make sure, is this the right eel? Moringua raitaborua, Purple spaghetti-eel IIRC, they're sometimes called paddle tail eels.

I've never kept one. Everything I've read says they're purty peaceful with anything that won't fit in their mouth, and that a sand substrate is best so they can burrow.
