Where is my eel?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am able to coax my 2 peacocks and fire eel out of hiding by putting a small amount of food in the water first, they smell it and will come out...Then you can get their attention and feed them from there-but be forewarned they are skittish and very shy. This works well with live food-like pieces of earthworm, cause the smell will draw them out.

To keep them out of the HOB, put some distance between the water and the filters output.
 
do it with the lights off.. some spineys can take a long time to adjust to you. patience and persistance. digging around in the tank looking for him is only going to stress him out and encourage the hiding.
