fire eel

Hi guys. This is my first post.. I have a 615liter I think it's about 160g. I started it as a community tank with 2 bgks(one about 25cm and the other about 20cm at the moment), one pleco(about 30cm) and a couple of other community fish like black neons, neons, glowlight tetras, a few glowfish...

I've been thinking about it lately and I think I want to put together my first "monster" tank. I think the jump from 55 to 125 (6ft) isn't too crazy and greatly widens my stocking selections. To narrow it down I'd like to stock SA/CA cichlids. Filtration: I'm trying to decide between a Fluval...

Hey everyone very new to monster fish keepers looking forward to keeping some monster fish! I’m having trouble settling on stocking my new 180 gallon tank and would love some pointers. I’ve been in love with bichirs for quite some time but am concerned about mixing ornates with either delhezi...

Hello Everyone! I have a beautiful Fire Eel currently housed in a 125g planted tank. He's around 18 in. I'm doing some tank re-arrangements to maximize my fish room. I have a 135g cube tank (36 W x 36 L x 24 H) available. I am briefly considering putting my eel into this tank. It's not very...

I got a fire eel that was 4 inches and he grew to six. I've been hand feeding it frozen blood worms with nitrite gloves and I'm wondering when it can eat shrimp. (Even the tiny ones)

Hello, I've noticed numerous white spots on my 10-12" fire eel. I can't tell if it's ich or some disease, or if it's just the eels natural paterns developing. I tend to over-worry about this guy, so this could be nothing. But I wanted to ask to be safe. Pictures attached. Anyone know what...

Bit of a weird one haha, for a brief moment, my male Knifefish thought my (also male) Fire Eel was a larger female Knifefish and tried to pair with it. I'm not all clued up with the exact pairing ritual of Black Ghost Knifefish, but I'd say it might of been something like this lol. Was a bit...

Hello, A little over one month ago I purchased a Fire Eel. I've put all sorts of food in the tank but I have never seen him eat. I'm getting worried he'll starve to death. I've asked before how to tell if he's eating when I'm not looking. Most of the responses were "see if he looks too skinny"...

Hello, About 3 weeks ago I purchased a 6-8" Fire Eel. I am concerned because I have never seen him eat. I've provided a number of foods (listed below) but have not actually seen him consume anything. Is there a way to determine if he is actually eating? Food I've provided: - frozen Blood...

Hello, I'm planning far ahead for a monster tank I'd like to set up in the next year or so. My intention for the tank (300+g) is to house a Giant Gourami (I love the size of those things). I currently have a Fire Eel (6-7 inch) and two Kissing Gourami (juvies) in other tanks. Those three will...
