My 5 yr old feeding her Fire eel's

Those are some diesel FE's man.
I love how they make that popping sound when you let them eat from the surface!

Yours are very stocky though, ever have any escape attempts?
 
The top of my tank is enclosed, but one of my eels jumped out one time when the arowana came up underneath him and startled him while he was eating. My 2 daughters and my wife were screaming while I got him back in the tank. It was pretty funny. One thing I have noticed with 2 big fire eels is you can't give them a hiding spot because they will fight over it. Once I removed the hollow log they were using to hide in, they never fought anymore.
 
Very nice. Do you have any problem with the stingrays? In the past I used to hold a smaller stingray with my TT eel. I don't know if it was the eel, but the ray was beaten a bit. When was held with my bigger rays - there was no issue.
