Most of you know i got a fire eel. I thought it would be more like a eel but it comes out whenever i am there. When i was feeding my fish last night my fire eel came up and expected hand feeding lol? So now he is handfeeding and i didnt do anything lol! I cant beleive it comes out and isnt really in eel he tries to steal the oscars spotlight lol. Do any of you guys have a fire eel. Does it act like this.

I want one really bad but just dont have the room. I have seen may fire eels that act like dogs. They will follow you around the tank and enjoy being hand fed. Generally they become more tame as they get older how big is yours?

he's about 12 inches

there about 50 dollars a piece you should one

Here you go, they all seem to like the handfeeding very much.




But i think the eel in the vid could eat some more, imo he should be getting fatter

I really wish I could but I just dont have the room.

fullgrown over 3 feet in lenght, isn't it?

i like that fire eel

full grown length is about 2-3 feet

I've seen them thick as a wrist, but they tend to sleep a lot and not show much except for feedingtime of course.

Says like 24" but I have personally seen a 4' Fire Eel at a LFS

here is 30 inch one
