spiny eel

I had a Dayi eel ordered, and the day it was supposed to ship the company called and told me he jumped out and died. So if anybody has a Dayi eel, or a pantherinus eel for sale or rehome, please message me! My number is 561-262-1222

I have a 7" black spotted eel (Mastacembelus dayi) and a 12" tiger bichir (Polypterus endlicheri). I'm wondering if I could put a black wolf fish (Hoplias curupira) with them? The Bichir I think would be fine but I'd rather not have my eel eaten or beat up by the wolf fish. I have a grow-out...

Today my new spiny eel arrived. I bought it as "mastacembelus frenatus". I often read that you get most of the times false labled. Could you tell me if this is a mastacembelus frenatus or what else this is?

Hi everyone, I have noticed my fire eel has not been eating and now it has been gasping or breathing heavily. I did a 50% water change just now, tests show 0 ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH 7. Tank has sandy bottom and PVC pipes and decorations for hiding. It came out of its preferred PVC pipe...

He’s at least 18in and loves bloodworms, shrimp, and hikari carnivore pellets. He’s been living peacefully with my half-banded for over a year, they used to hang out and eat side by side. It blew my mind when I learned that spiny eels dont get along. Anyway, does anyone local have a good home...

Hi everyone, new to this site. I have a 90 gallon fish tank currently with rope fish and half banded spiny eels and I am documenting all kinds of things I haven’t been able to see anywhere else online. I have noticed that my eels are starting to turn colors when they want, they almost...

Picked up a 265g the other day, 7'x2'x2', going to be housing some bichirs, a florida gar, a lima shovelnose, a female parachromis motaguense, and possibly a spiny eel, something like a dayi. Could a red wolf fit into this mix? Red wolf would end up being the smallest fish in the tank, and most...

Would no substrate/tile work with a peacock eel if I have 3 structures each with multiple hiding spots or would he still be to stressed if he can't bury? He uses the hiding spots now but still buries for a decent amount of time. If he must bury I will change from gravel to sand but would...

So for some background info, its a 75 gallon heavily planted tank with lots of caves and driftwood hiding places, I've had a lesser spiny eel in there for several months and its gotten along with all the other tank mates just fine, I put a senegal bichir in just last night and the eel will not...

Hey everyone, new to this website. I have a black spotted freshwater eel that has been much less active lately. I believe he is sick or injured, but I’m not sure which one nor which disease. He has one large white patch near his tail. He is approximately 8 inches long and about 10 months old. He...

So as I have been rearranging my tanks I was thinking of moving my Pundamilia nyererei in with my Spiny Eel. It is a Mastacembelus frenatus that is about 5.5-6 inches long. I have kept it with Cyps, but you can keep them with most community fish. I have wanted to put the eel in with my Lake...

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...

So I was really excited to have a Starry night eel, I was quarantining it, and it was eating, when the quarantine had a nitrate spike and I lost the eel. I have been trying to locate another one or another African species but they are not available though the supplier of my LFS where I found the...
