fire eel

[lee_zr600]

i put a small fire eel in my 55g. I understand ill have to sell him at some point. he is 6" for now...there were some glofish in the tank and im assuming he ate them. He readily eats frozen bloodworms. Im just curious if anyone has owned one. There is also a pictus cat that could be the fish eater. Any information on the fire eel would be awsome. thanks!

You need to cover the top completely and tightly, or the fire eel will escape and become fish jerky. You'd be surprised how adept at escaping they are.
