Anyone got spiny eels?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I currently just obtained 2 awesome tire tracks for my 280 gallon tank and 2 senegal bichirs the eels are roughly over 8 inches long the bichirs are 7 inches long roughly they all make glutts of themselves on earthworms and krill I just wish they would come out more though....the eels that is but when they do its an awesome sight im still looking for a fire eel but Im not sure if all three could live peacefully together
 
I´ve had mastacembelus eels now for a few years. I use a little floating basket to feed them. this way they come all the way up to the surface and become less shy. It´s also quit easy to make m eat from your hand. Just make m hungry and try earthworms. Fire eels are more relaxed towards tankmates than armatus. my 22 inch armatus almost killed my 12 inch fire eel in one night! Armatus eels become more agressive as they grow bigger. If you don´t give them a pipe to hide in they´ll be more visible. my eels show themselves all day long and not only at night. i think fish is the best food for them and makes m grow the fastest.
