Firetrackd Eel

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
cool. possible tank mates if i do a 75?
 
how small is very? for a fully grown eel.
 
well, armatus might eat actively swimming that fit in their mouths. ive seen 50cm armatus eat 6cm carp. carp are pretty thick and high fish so...
never seen one eat a small pleco or clown loach tho.
 
my fire eel is about 14" long and i've had him/her for 2 years! lovely fish eats shrimp,cockle,earthworms and pieces of whitebait:D

DO THEY LIKE TO HIDE IN THE GRAVELALOT?
I SEE THEM AT THE STORE AND THEY'RE ALWAYS IN THE GRAVEL. DO THEY GROW OUT OF THIS?

Depends on the fish, I have a peacock eel and at the store, he was always in the gravel. I took him home and he was swimming all over the place and in and out of the river rock caves I made. I was at the hospital for two weeks for the new arrival of our baby girl and when I got home, I have only seen him a handful of times because he is always burried in the sand.
 
my fire eel has never buried in the gravel i think if you provide them with a pipe or something to hide in they will use that instead and it stops them getting scratched up!
