A question for those of you whose fire eels are very red. What and how often do you feed them especially the eels over 12". Mine is about 7-8 now and will eat bloodworms and earthworms and feeder guppies
 
My new fire eel. She's maybe 8 inches? Sorry they are a little blurry... hard to get a whole shot of her sitting still. Also... she is more brown than the ones I see on here, is that just because she is young? Most of the ones I see are more black/blueish with a LOT more yellow and red. Can I look forward to her looking that way as she matures?

Haha... I just noticed my bamboo shrimp chillin' in the background!

Great Eels!! I really enjoyed browsing through this thread. My favorite fish is my eel. I really enjoy this guy, and have only had positive experiences with my fire eel. They have so much personality, and is fairly tough against the parrots and one flowerhorn in the tank the eel is in. I hand feed my fire eel bloodworms. He is a picky eater, so that is all i know the eel eats. It might eat other food when it is nighttime and the tank is dark. I am not sure how long the eel is now, but I would guess from 20 inches.

The retailer sold it to me as a "flowerhorn parrot". I am guessing it is a veija X parrot. I could be wrong. That parrot fish is cool, too. The eel is watching the parrot. :)
