Great looking fish. He is one impressive looking dude.

That is one great looking specimen, hope you get your filter situation worked out. Hate to see him keep hurting himself.

Yup, and mine also likes his head rubbed. Will come up to my fingers and let me rub his head.

44+ inches, and lives 20+ years (Max age is still unknown but this is just an estimate that I found online, but most places say unknown)

i know what your saying, my BGKs are eatting more and more...

what are red wigglers, and where do you find prawn shrimp? im interested for my BGKs

Red wigglers are small earthworms. Usually the Petco here will carry them in the refrigerator. They just need to be kept cool and moist, they are live worms.

Also, at the lfs, in their freezer, you might find frozen Krill. It's a much larger food for bigger fish. I have some, and will be trying it for my eel to see if he'll take it. Also, shrimp and prawns from the frozen section in the grocery store.

How big is your tank? I'd love to see more pictures of it.

It's the 55G.

Have you tried earthworms? I had a tire-track eel (years ago) that thrived on them after it outgrew bloodworms.

lovemybarbs · 12-10-2006, 05:08 PM

Wow. I'm glad your fish aren't in danger.
