Of course we all know the E eel is actually a knife. For large eels, you can't go wrong with a large swamp eel like this 4 footer.

[Ianab]

I'm not technically an Eel keeper, but this one just happens to live in the stream at the bottom of my garden. We feed it chicken and fish scraps and it has become fairly tame over the years.

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=39925&size=1

It's a NZ longfinned Eel, (Anquilla dieffenbachii). They can grow to 2m long a weigh 40kg, so this is just a small one - about 90cm long.

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=39927&size=1

I lured it out with some pieces of fish to take the pictures.

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=39926&size=1

Then it wriggled back to it's cave.

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=39924&size=1

Cheers

Ian

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Ian - Thats the coolest thing ive ever seen as part of anybodys garden!!!

How long have you guys been feeding it?

[Ianab]

How long have you guys been feeding it?

I've only lived here about 4 years. Next door neighbour has been feeding them for years. Not sure if it's the same eel, sometimes other ones appear at feeding time. This one is probably 20-30 years old though.

Cheers

[jconley]

you threw a goldfish into saltwater? how do they react?

They die!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol3: :ROFL:

[DB junkie]

About the same as people leaving the bar at closing time. Little confused kinda bump into things. Usually get eaten within a few minutes. Don't really know beyond that.

The Fimbriated Moray (named Adolf) gets goldfish every so often as a treat. This pic was taken a few months after I got it. Much larger now as that was probobly around 1.5-2 years ago. Hit a big growth spurt after I found smelt at a grocery store. Unfortunatly I went back to get more and was informed that it was sent there by accident and they can no longer get it. Wish I would have taken some smelt feeding pics. The eel would dart straight from the rocks to the surface and his head would come out of the water a few inches usually hitting the tops. The thing is nuts. Was feeding him by hand for a little while but after it started breaking the surface I figured it would be a good idea to go back to using a skewer. It was up to 2 uncut pieces of smelt a day and the pieces were about 6 inches.

What do you feed him. Mine is at 7" as well but is always hiding and won't eat anything besides bloodworms and earthworms.

I feed him blood worms, and surprisingly brine shrimp. He will sniff them out one they have settled and eat.

[ecuacura]

My new fire eel. She's maybe 8 inches? Sorry they are a little blurry... hard to get a whole shot of her sitting still. Also... she is more brown than the ones I see on here, is that just because she is young? Most of the ones I see are more black/blueish with a LOT more yellow and red. Can I look forward to her looking that way as she matures?

Haha... I just noticed my bamboo shrimp chillin' in the background!

[parrotlover77]

Great Eels!! I really enjoyed browsing through this thread. My favorite fish is my eel. I really enjoy this guy, and have only had positive experiences with my fire eel. They have so much personality, and is fairly tough against the parrots and one flowerhorn in the tank the eel is in. I hand feed my fire eel bloodworms. He is a picky eater, so that is all i know the eel eats. It might eat other food when it is nighttime and the tank is dark. I am not sure how long the eel is now, but I would guess from 20 inches.

[pitbullbadass]

parrot lover what is that last fish ????

[parrotlover77]

The retailer sold it to me as a "flowerhorn parrot". I am guessing it is a veija X parrot. I could be wrong. That parrot fish is cool, too. The eel is watching the parrot. :)

[pitbullbadass]

it dosent look like a flower horn blood parrot at all

[parrotlover77]

It has a mouth of a king kong parrot, the body of a regular blood parrot, but the colors are of a "stereotypical" flowerhorn (with the flowerline and bright colors), but obviously no pearling. I will never know the entire make-up of this fish, since I bought them in malaysia. FYI, it is not dyed. I love this parrot anyway, no matter what it is. Half of my fish now have been sold to me as something other than what I was told they were, but they all turned out to be better than anything I could have expected.:irked: :)

Yes, this fire eel is in the same coconut shell the larger eel is dwarfing in the pic above. He was over two feet before the accident. . .:cry:

I'm thinking about getting a Aussy eel.

[DB junkie]

Brackish Dude......What are the eels in the first two pics? The first one isn't a Tile is it? Second a Brackish "panther" eel ?? And if you don't mind saying where did you pick them up?

[brackishdude]

both were sold to me by fugupuff at rarefish (a vendor here). The first pic is of an eel fugupuff nor I could ID. Fugu coined "vampire eel" (a few more pics of him, pics 8 and 9, just before the G. tile pic) .

Fugupuff also sold me my Scat tetracanthus and archers.

His pinned photolounge thread is jaw dropping!

Check out my tank's thread in the link below.

That's one crazy looking fire eel

my new tulip-anyone ever keep one of these in sand?

[Salt Life]

nice!

[Fishyfan]

Brackishdude, how long did it take your fire eel to grow that big?

[darthbravo]

my new tulip-anyone ever keep one of these in sand?

Great looking tulip, never kept mine on sand only on gravel. Hope everything turns out great.

[brackishdude]

Brackishdude, how long did it take your fire eel to grow that big?

About 6-7yrs, when I got him he was about pencil size. I was a student then, with more time than brains/money, so the tank got a lot more attnetion, including frequent trips to the compost pile for worms. He ate well.

I imagine it would take much longer with more reserved feedings.

[NjOyRiD]

Can you put Fire eels with any kind of fish ?

[draco]

Can you put Fire eels with any kind of fish ?


As long as there to big to fit in the eels mouth it should be fine. They do get very large and are a rather aggressive eater. Also I wouldn't put them in with some of the really aggressive or nippy chichlids. Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Need a lil help here.....LOL

Can't fix this this.

[draco]

DB junkie those are some awesome eels.
Here are a couple pics of my new fire eel

[DB junkie]

Thanx man... pretty nice fire you have there as well.

I have to get pics of the rest of the eels. There's also a Snowflake, Blackedge, and Zebra in with the Fimbriated and Whitemouth. Also have a few angry Tiles in the brackish tank....them lil fellers are finger biters, I at least get splashed at every feeding if not a little nip.

[welsher7]

[DB junkie]

Got any suggestions for a stubborn Zebra that won't eat?

Tried shrimp, scallops, crab, silversides, smelt, squid, octo.

Been 5 weeks........

If I have a 4+ foot Zebra die from starvation I am going to have to seriously re-evaluate my fish keeping abilities.

[welsher7]

WOW! a 48"+ zebra eel. That is a beast. We need to see pictures of that thing. I dunno mine eats anything I put in front of its face. Do you target feed with a feeding stick? How long have you had the eel? What have you fed it and how have you fed it in the past? Foods soaked in garlic extract usually will help to get a fish eating. Try large krill soaked in garlic. That is how I started mine started. Is it starting to look thin yet?

[Wildzone]

Hello

I'm new to the forum and was wondering if you guys can tell me if it would be wise to put a 3 inch fire eel with 4 Oscars they are about 8 inches big.

Thanks for your help.

I would wait till the fire eel is about 7" or so before you do.
How big of a tank?

[Andri Pogo]

heres my icelandic eel, around 10"

Wierd looking eel is it eating anything yet.

[Wildzone]

Thanks for your answer, my tank is about 160 gallons. I actually saw another fire eel for sale, that one is about 12 inches and they are asking $100. What do you think about that option.

Thanks again for your help.

[Andri Pogo]

Would ask around first.
I had the opportunity to buy one that was 6" or so for about $23.00

[Wildzone]

Thanks for the advise. But I live in Costa Rica and there aren't a lot of options on rare fish like the fire eel.

This is actually the 3rd eel I see for sale in about 3 years :WHOA:

I'm also looking for a Bichir (or 2) but it has to be at least 20cm or my Oscar's will kill him.

[tigerlover2006]

Heres my 2 ft fire eel. Fantastic swimmer!

I just got a pay rise, I'm going shopping for an eel tomorrow!!!!

[tigerlover2006]

Its slightly more than 2 feets long. Very avtive fellow! I am looking for a mate for him:D

Yes....it looks thin. I aquired it 6 weeks ago from a guy in Chicago. Has never eaten for me.... He said crab and shrimp. I've tried everything. Will get garlic tonight.

Believe me it's over 48in. I only know this cause I taped it in disbelief of the size when I got it home. I will have pics up as soon as I can get them dumped.

Yes....all eels are target fed. There's 2 volitans in my eel tank..the rest is eels.

Think it's possible the Zebra isn't eating due to intimidation? Like maybe a really thick 2'+ Fimbriated? I don't know what else it could be.....all other eels started eating the day after I got them. I would think if any eel should be intimidated it would be the foot long snowflake that eats like a horse....not the tank monster.

[Wildzone]

I'm now the proud owner of a Tire Track Eel she is about 13''

It was $56. I finally got a good price :headbang2

I am getting my 18" next week. Looking forward to it!:drool:

[chiefmojo]

Heres a couple

[Salt Life]

nice eel

[aidenb]

here's my 7 incher, he eats very well, i always feed my other fish when i put in a new fish to distract him, and while he was still in the bag I put some bloodworms in the tank, let him in the tank and he didn't even make it to the bottom before he turned around and went straight for the worms. (and that was after floating in the bag for and hour and a half because the store kept him in brackish, so i had to transfer to fresh slowly)

finaly found where the eels are on this forum. looking to do a 75gal south/central american set up. doing sand heavy planted and plenty of caves. i want an eel that doesn't get too big. any suggestions? FYI i dont like the eels with the pointy nose. saw a "south american" moray eel at the pet shop for 15$'s . should i pick it up? message me and thnx for any help.

[killerfish]

the pointy noses are spiny ells i'm pretty sure thats what your talking about

the other eel is most likely whats sold as a freshwater moray eel or a snowflake eel they need alot of salt in there water there high end brackish fish so they need about 1/2 to 3/4 salt water
