Hi, i have an 80G tank i have 2 flower Horns, 1 yellow African cichlid, 4 Parrots, 1 crayfish, 3 Albino stomas, and finally my Eels 1 Fire and the other is Moray. Firstly is that good can they with each other i guess that they aren't doing any harm to each other, but when it comes to food i think the Eels aren't eating and i want to know what can i do or what can i feed them and HOW?? ....
Thanks.
 
Why they are small not that big they are around 5 or 6 cm and they are not hitting anyone else or should i separate them in another tank....
 
The other fish are gonna get to
The food before your eels would because they are gunning for the food. Either put in extra food, directly put food in the eel's cave/housing area or hope for the best.

could be wrong but aren't all moray eels brackish water? Just saying. Try live worms for the fire eel if its big enough, my spinys seem to love worms

All moray eels except for one species (not the one you have) need saltwater in order to survive & thrive; brackish & freshwater will not cut it for keeping them healthy long-term.

Morays need salt water, so if your keeping it in a frshwater tank, he wont last long enough to be aproblem for you.

This is why research is a good idea before making any purchase.

Naw man I think hes talking about the so called "Freshwater moray eel" they can go in freshwater, there like a brownish purple color with specals of white or so. I found they do better in a solo tank with alittle bit of salt. They are ok in fresh but they are alot more aggresive in like a brackish tank. try live minnows and shrimp intill they start eating good. then use tongs to give them frozen foods.
