evil_elmo Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 i have a fire eel and wanted another eel but from what i read online, most eels dont like each other as for the growth rate of a fire eel they dont grow super fast, just normal fish rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_elmo Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 my one just eats earthworms, or what ever that is left over from the other fish like ox heart, pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilah Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I had a foot long fire eel and a 15cm fire eel and a 20cm tyre track all living together sweet, i think you just have to watch them especially at night to see if they get on. Trial them, if they dont work just whip one out and set up another tank for it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candy Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 i have found that if u feed the eels they do grow fast.. it only took us about a year to get our fire eel to be about a foot and a half long. Feed them shrimp and mussles and they grow huge.... Also on the keeping more then one togeather i would say no.. not worth the risk of them killing each other at a later date.
