Nice fire eels!I've always wanted one but for two reasons I can't get one:

1.My tank is only 55 uk gals

2.Theres a chance they would eat larger Rainbowfish.

When mine gets finicky I use ghost shrimp. He eats them like crazy.

they are a cool fish but they do become a monster when they grow up. Their faces turn into some kind of scary alien. Normally i like weird things but this one i saw at my lfs really scared me to the point it was disgusting!

in that instant my imagination went wild and I visualised my fingers or arm being eaten by it! and from the size of it i am sure it could!!! scary

smaller ones looks awesome and cute just like peacock but much more colourful, pity they don't stay small

If they stayed small, they wouldn't be as interesting. Hope you can get him to eat!

i would try some ghost shrimp for sure.
I would never consider my huge fire eel as an ugly or weird fish.I love hand feeding her and even try to give her a kiss.
