Fire Eel

[Samuel Koh]

ST is for short for Wide Bar Datnoid fish, or Siames Tiger fish. Im sure you can find them in Singapore but not sure about the price. its expensive over here.

Why don't get fire eel

Even over here in HK fire eels are quite rare... Seems not many people want to stock these fish probably coz they also come from Asia...

I am from Singapore

 

[Fat Homer]

^ i know, but Singapore is still part of Asia... Which is why im guessing not many store can be bothered stocking said fish

Wouldn't think it would be to difficult to have someone order one from a lfs i got a small one that way for 15 dollars

I got my fire eel already. But what does the fire eel eat? Anyone can help me

 

[Fat Homer]

How big is he??? But basically you can try cut up prawn / blood worms / chopped up mussels etc...

Be warned though, they are finky eaters and will probably take you a while to get him eating dead foods unless hes already trainned to do so...

Otherwise freshwater shrimp make for good live feed, and quarantined feeders if you must go that route...

So far mine ignores any kind of cut up seafoods or frozen worms or even brine shrimp.However it loves live blackworms and small earthworms.

Does fire eel eat guppies or frozen blood worm

 

[Fat Homer]

^ if small enough they would eat bloodworms, and guppies i would say yes, if they were bungry enough...
