David R Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I feed my fire eel prawn, beefheart, bloodworms, etc. Eats like a pig, but I've never seen him be aggressive towards other fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Mine isn't overly shy and yes when hungry they will take the odd snap at a passing fish, they can do fin damage. As they get bigger they get bolder.. I had mine in with some juvenile fish (not small juvies) and watching the tyre eel predate was amazing, he actually had ambush tactics :lol: He worked in a slow motion till he was close enough and then snap! Mine prefers mysis shrimp, blood worms, earth worms, tubifex, he won't touch any form of flake or granule based foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
