Great... Now i know what to feed my future Fire Eel when I do get it. Been feeding my Peacock eel w/ worms but he's much smaller than Fire eel will get.

Great fish. I've only had one fire eel in my life and it was not as young & frisky as yours when I got him. He'll be one kewl monster someday. Pic taken at the Shedd aquarium in Chicago.

Thanks.
Man that is a big boy. Hopefully it will take while for mine to grow that big so I can buy a bigger tank! From what I have read, they aren't the fastest growers once they hit 20-24" or so.

Give em' some bloodworms, shrimp, live foods etc. on a regular basis and those red markings will come alive!

Well my Fire Eel decided to kill my blue crayfish after living peacefully for 4 months.I didn't think crayfish would be on the menu yet for an eel this small.

I was originally pissed when my LMB ate my daters, perch, sunfish, etc. But now i love watching devouring everybody! I only feed him fatheads and shiners now though. Oh yeah, and ghost shrimp. They try and defenf themselves with their tiny little arms and then CHOMP gone!
