ok so today i woke up to see my crayfish died cause the temp wasn't in the 70's so i was going to give it to my bichir and guess what........ My fire eel ate it is that normal.... :uhoh: :confused:
 
as far as i know eels love crustaceans and eat them in their natural habitat

but this is a spiny eel...
 
^ My old fire eel used to eat crays and shrimp all the time...
 
yep.. perfectly normal behavior.. infact spineys and crayfish shoudln't be housed together.. even if the cray is good sized.. the spiney will harass it to death then pull it apart.

I have a small fire eel with some golden claw crabs... the eel always chases them around.

So you just watch until the crustaceans are all dead?
