Check Out My Fire Eel!

This one makes me happy. Eels are very entertaining. They do start eating like pigs though.

Nice and it seems pretty active.

Pretty active when the food is out! Otherwise it hides in a tube. Too long to hide completely though.

Just wait, mine is out and crazy for food non stop. She could eat 25 crawlers and still be hungry.

That's kind of what I'm afraid of. I love big fire eels, but I hear they eat a ton! Not bad if it's your only fish, but when mixed in with stingrays that also eat a ton...

Where did you get the eel from? Looks awesome is this the same one that was hiding in the PVC pipe when I came over?

Nice. I've always wanted to try keeping a fire eel.

Yes it is. It took a while to grow out because it was only eating frozen foods, but once it finally took to cut fish its growth exploded.

I would definitely recommend one.

I've kept eels before and I do miss them. I've had the freshwater moray eel and sold it to get the snowflake moray eel when I switched it over to salt.
