could someone give me an advice i bought a fire eel friday afternoon im worried as i havent seen it since yesterday afternoon ,im worried as she hasent eaten since ive had it ,id be glad of your help

fire eels r nocternal so chances are you wont see her very often anyway, as well as this they can somtimes bury themsleves in the subsrate or under plants if u have sand or similier. what subsrate do you have? and whats in the tank with it? reason i ask is if its an O and its a small eel you may have a problem.

what are you feeding it? as normally you can only feed them earth worms etc as they wont accept pelleted food.

i have a 10" inch tiger oscar ,4" jack dempsey and gravel i have in the tank

how big is the fire eel? have you tried to locate it?

well atleast u can rule out it being buried in the substrate.

is there lots of places it could be hiding?

chances r its hiding from its huge tank mates!!

best thing u can do is try to locate it and make sure its alive. how big is the eel? may wnat ot consider a diff tank if its only small

hes about 5 inches to 6 inches ive tried to find it but no luck at all ,yesterday he was in my filter box ,i took everything out but i couldnt get him out as it was dark in the filter later i saw him in the gravel ,its just funny that i havent seen him at all today

well if he is gettin into ranodm places like that i imagine he'll be ok as the other fish wont be able to get at him. it is probz juts out of sight. keep an eye out tho and if u go much longer without seeing it star to get concerned.

not sure how the other fish will interact with it mind. not sure if they'll get on but iv never had fire eels so cant be certain.

let us know when you see it next if at all.

will do thanks for youre help

no worries mate.

good luck
