My fire eel!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Really the lighting isn’t doing him justice, he has some very nice reds (especially his spine). Always been quite personable, I have gotten him to eat from my hand from time to time, though most times I forgo it since he seemingly mistakes my fingers for worms and gives m his sandpaper nibble.

Nice! I'm such a fire eel sucker.

How big is he, what size tank do you have and what tankmates?
 
This fish is probably 14-16 inches now and currently in a 125 gallon. The current tank has 2 ornate bichir (male is about 10 inches I would say, female is about the same size as the fire eel, maybe a tad shorter), a lap bichir in the 11 inch range, 2 Oscars, 2 what I believe to be midas cichlid, though unsure, and one red terror male (about 6 or 7 inches). There is also a 11 inch chocolate pleco, a 6 inch Royal pleco, 3 striped Raphael, and a 4-5 inch yoyo loach.
