Oh yay!!! I got lucky with one of those eels also that is always out and about. Mine was the same way when I got her, I expect her to immediately hide but instead she started exploring made a home for herself in a piece of driftwood until the loaches kicked her out of it now she sleeps in a java fern. It's soo funny to me cause in my research they said that the peacock eels usually eat 2-3 times a week but mine eats everyday, twice a day... Hahaha.. And she loves brine shrimp!
