These long fin eels enjoying some Cheerios
The red is the last piece of cheerio

Wow- they look too much like snakes to me! But the picture is interesting as I don't think I've ever seen eels feeding like that before. I've only seen them in aquariums.

Wow! Such an unusual subject for a photo. I’m not sure I would want to get this close to them but your photo shows a great amount of detail!

Ooh, they look big for eels. Great find and capture. The red Cheerio really pops here.

[Faye Turner]

They really look scary but great capture of them

[Lin]

Yikes - they looked really scary until I read the narrative - if they like Cheerios, they must be OK - nicely captured.

I've never seen eels in the wild. Hope I don't. This is interesting to see, especially because the red cheerio contrasts so much with the black eel.
