My 23" tire track eel.

[somthinsfishy]

Can't ever seem to get a full shot of it. I feed it 3-4 large earthworms a day.

[somthinsfishy]

Thanks guys. You can see a part of the earthworm it's going after.

[jason34]

[Hakon]

Ah beautiful. I have a eel who looks just like that and it's really fat, fatter than the other eels even it eats the same quantity of food like my fire eel. Do you have the same expierience?

Thanks guys. You can see a part of the earthworm it's going after.

does it eat anything other than earthworms? i've been debating on getting one but haven't had luck with feeding them with prior ones.

[loach43]

Wow, he's awsome. How long have you had him?

[Steve_89]

Looks good :)

[kido]

nice :thumbsup:

i've got a fire eel that's about the same size and they are really great fish with personality :)

[dtgshark]

[mudskipper]

nice one.

[PufferXtreme]

Cool tyre track! I have one on my wishlist!

[Honda12]

Wow looks good.

[somthinsfishy]

I've had the eel for two years. It will eat frozen krill, bloodworms, earthworms, frozen bryne shrimp. It will not eat live fish. It doesn't bury itself thankfully. It's about as fat as a large florescent light bulb. It is very swift at grabbing the earthworms. That's how I got the picture. It will dart out of the cave snatch a worm and return to it's cave in a split second. I got lucky with this picture I made it have to reach for the worm.

do you not have fine substrate, or does it just prefer the cave dwelling?

Great eel dude, how personable is it, i always found them to be quite inter-active

[michael]

but it used to nip off my aros fins so it had to go!

[somthinsfishy]

It prefers to cave dwell. As it is way to big to try to burrow. It is shy and pokes it's head most of the time checking things out. Not agressive twards other fish at all. Has been known to snatch a worm out of my clown knives mouth. I could probably hand feed it, but it's to big of a hassel to take the plexi top off of my canopy. So I don't try. My spotted eel however it's about 10" and it is always out and about.

Never seen or known of one that big.

[DrBranDo]

[scott g]

Very nice fish.:thumbsup:

[drdpc]

wow very big!

[Datnoid101]

Nice eels, it reminds me of my yellow spiney tail I had. It was about the length of my 10g and ate 6 mealworms a day. Any more pics?

[lstrong]

mine is 16 " long and is as thick as yours is.He eats 10-25 krill a day.I think he eats too much but he steels food from my arowana and chocolate cichlid

[limz_777]

eels always looks good when big.

[WyldFya]

Very nice looking eel! I miss my old fire eel.

[eel_seeker]

wow I had to compliment of the beauty of that guy he is awesome I hope mine get that big soon....

[StiffMeister]

can you post some more pics of that monster?

[Thomascl]

nice

[Im4u2nV]

great eel....

[somthinsfishy]

Finally got a full body shot of the bugger. My cichlids are terrified of it. I don't know why doesn't eat fish. That's a 6" fryeri next to him on the right. Give you a good idea of his size. 125 gal. tank. Was only 4" when I bought it.Enjoy.

[PufferXtreme]

that's some beautiful Malawis you've got there.

[eel_seeker]

he looks even better in that pic around the company of elegant malawi cichlids how high is your ph? if you dont mind my newbie curiousity :D

[davo]

nice fish. how thick is your eel?

[somthinsfishy]

Ph 8.0. water temp 78 deg. It's just a little smaller than the thickness of a redbull can.

[Noot]

Nice looking eel! It´s funny that the head looks much smaller in relation to the body. Was the photo you took just after feeding?
