Fire Eel with my cichlids
- Thread starter CICHLIDFAN210
- Start date
My peacock is pretty chill with everything. As long as there isn't something that's gonna eat him he's pretty flexible.
I have a tire track eel and peackock in my 180g cichlid tank...no drama, no interactions....its as if they dont see eachother. remember, if the eel feels threatened, they will bury themselves. the only problem I have is I cant get them to eat pellets...only eat frozen bloodworms or live earth worms, so they only eat 2-3 times a week.
I have a Fire Eel in with my Oscars and Jag and he does ok. It took about a week to get him eating when I first got him when he was about 7-8 inches and now he vacuums up the prawns like nobodys business and is probably about 20 inches a year later.

The tank is a bit mucky because I am doing a water change but I wanted to video without the decor in so you can see them all clearly.
The Fire Eel appreciates cover and I have a pipe cut in half lengthways where he can chill.
