check your water perameters, fire eels generally will be the first fish in a system to get sick, ime they are one of the delicate fish out there. Its possibly ammonia burn, or nitrites. your nitrates should be around 20ppm as well as high nitrates also dont do well with these guys. clean water should clear it up in a few days if this is the case. If not then its likely velvet and not Ick, and a gentle anti-bacterial should help. But again, clean water is your best bet.
