My filter turns loud when I unplug it and it take like 2 mins even when I put water in it to help do need a new one because I have 2 golf fish 2 fancy guppies 2 Cory catfish 2 ghost shrimp 1 female betta and 1 snail
 
I'm sorry I don't quite understand. It might be the improper wording or the half gallon of coke I had at the movie theatre 10 minutes ago

Anyway what is your tank size? Also what do you mean about the filter? Your saying water still cycles after you unplug it?

Perfectly fine, likely just the noise it makes while it's trying to start the water flow
 
Mine does it al the time too, it's normal. All it's doing is trying to get water in the tubing again even if you put watering there before turning it on it will do it

What do you feed your Eel? I have a Fire Eel but the only thing he eats are Ghost Shrimp. I've tried blood worms and earth worms. What does yours like?

PS: sorry for thread jacking I just really need help.

I feed mine bloodworms, and new life spectrum sinking pellets. I have never seen him eat the pellets but as soon as I out them in he goes crazy so I guess he is eating them also since has grown 3"+ since I got him

Oh mine doesn't like Blood Worms. I guess I got a picky one. You should see if yours likes Earth Worms most love them.
 
I tried his mouth is stills little small but my frogs tore it to shreds it just wasn't fun having to scoop out remains in the morning

U should not mix tropical fish with gold fish because the goldfish like cooler water and they are a " messy fish"
