Five Fire Eels

[Oskie Boy]

I am also down to four total fire eels. One died unexpectedly not really sure why. I also had to remove one that is getting picked on. So there are thee in the tank now. I will move the fourth back after a few months in a different tank by himself.

They are eating cut up frozen tilapia mixed with NLS pellets and Vita Chem mixed in. I let it sit in a large cup mixed up for 30 mins or so then dump it in. Then everyone eats so fast that the eels end up getting a bunch of the pellets. The pellets also smell like the fish this way.

These pics are from April 2020. So they are four years old. They were the size of a regular pencil when I got them super skinny.

They were so small I could not find one of the eels one time. I took the eheim canister filter apart because I though he was small enough to fit in the intake strainer. He was not in there fortunately, he was just hiding in a plant or something.
