Here is a video clip of my fire eels. I posted this in the video lounge a while back, but you guys might be more interested in it. By the way, the shot is framed such that you can only see about 1/3 of the tank. (Some people were giving me a hard time about the tank being too small) I guess they didn't notice that he goes outside of the frame :grinno:. Of course, on MFK, your tank is never big enough, hahaha.

You should sand down the plastic around that pvc pipe. at least get rid of the big chunks. fire eels have soft skin that scratches easily. the pipe will also look nicer imo.

??? PVC ??? were you talking to us and about our over flow boxes? If you are, they're totally smooth. OH, nevermind. Yeah, I see who you were talk to, and you're totally right.

Great colors and patterning!

I was doing some work on the tank last night when I felt something wet slap my back. It was one of my fire eels who apparently wanted to explore the area outside the tank. Those are slippery buggers!

Make sure you keep your tanks covered!
