Anyone got spiny eels?

[paul112]

Hey there.
Im sort of new here, but i have two Peacock Eels, about 6-7inches in length each.
Anyone else keeping these 'eels' or another type of spiny eel, like the tyretrack or fire eel?
Just thought i'd ask.

I have a mastacembelus mastacembelus, cool eel. Just a baby, around 5 inches, becoming a little less shy now.

What do you feed yours? Mine only eats bloodworms atm.

blood worms,

when i leave the light off
but mostly he stays
burrowed under the sand.

I have had 3 fire eels, and one I got trained to eat from a rigid tubing. He would swim up and eat bloodworms at the waters surface, but only if the worms were in the tube. My largest one hit 14", and about 1.25" in diameter. Fun to keep.

Had one before kind of inactive and well somewhat a boring fish.

even at large sizes, 12 inches plus do they really only eat worms? They never take chopped up mussels/prawns etc?
