February 10, 201214 yr comment_471921 I got my new fire eel yesterday. He is 35cm long and a monster. Unfortunately he is only eating blood worms atm, will try and train eating shrimp. He is in with my Oscars so this could be a tricky process lol. Will add a photo as soon as I can so you guys can see him, he is very well coloured! Lives with my other fire eel and two other zebra eels and they all get along well and a buddy up in their caves together. Report

February 19, 201214 yr Author comment_473158 Success both are now eating shrip from my hand :thup: Report
March 7, 201214 yr Author comment_475732 They are both doing very well, the small one comes to the surface to eat and the large one is comming rite out of his cave to eat out of my hand. They go through three shrimp per night now. I am going to start stuffing them with the pellets and hopefully get them onto pellets at some stage. They have to compete with my greedy oscars though Report

March 8, 201214 yr Author comment_475872 Yes they are very cool fish, was looking at maybe getting a black ghost knife (as they are easy to train at eating pelets). Would love a big Notopterus tho Report
