37 Gallons might be pushing the limit for an adult size Fire Eel. Depends on how big the purchase size is...you might get away with keeping him in there temporarily. They are pretty slow growing though so it could be for a while. Peacock Eels might be more suitable for the living space...

Fire Eels are awesome...they're so beautiful. Then again..all eels are awesome. :mrgreen: All I can do is share my experience with owning eels and maybe it could point you out in a decision. (Remember this is just my experience and it could vary depending on the eel itself.) First off if...

Yeah...had a really bad incident with corys and the clown knife (even at this size)...err had a couple of pandas that I thought :? were safe... :cry: but sadly they disappeared without a trace. I have no other option but to think that the clown might have gotten carried away during feeding...

Yup...he's my baby...well soon to be huge baby. All smiles there. :mrgreen: I take that back though...seems he's bigger than I thought, he's more like almost 7 inches (i measured :lol: ). I swear everytime I turn around he's got this growth spurt that takes place...and I have a feeling I...

Hello out there. I've got a clown knifefish which I've had for about half a year. He started out really small...about 2 1/2 inches and now he's pushing about 5. Fastest growing fish I've ever enountered, seems like everytime he eats he grows. 8O He's been pretty content in a 55 Gal. living...

Okay, I took everyone's advice. And so I've finally managed to notice that my feeder guppies are breeding, now another problem. The female guppies that are pregnant, some being very swollen looking and far into pregnancy are dying. I've had to take out at least a dead pregnant one once every...

Alright, just a little update...I've done some research about pop eye...and read over the sites that were provided. Thank you, I've found them really informative. As for my little panda cory, sadly his time came...and I've lost another cory (also a panda...darn those were my favorite). I've...

Thank you :D After closely inspecting some guppys in the buckets (pulling a bunch out with a net and taking a closer look at them) I've noticed that alot (and I mean a whole bunch) of females could possibly be pregnant...or are in the earlier stage of pregnancy. They're fat, but not...

Hello...and yes I know it might sound really stupid to ask such a question (because I hear it's no difficult task) but I'm not trying to breed those fancy show guppies that people usually are proud of. My guppies are regular feeder guppies and well I just need more feeder guppies. (Sorry I...

My panda cory has got something funky going on with his eyes. This is the first time I've ever seen this happen. Today I came home to feed my fish as I normally do during the evening and was shocked (not to mention a little spooked) because my panda cory's eyes (not one, but two) look like...

I also agree that having just one red tailed shark would be the best. I have 3 of them in a 55 Gal. and even if it seems to be more than enough room for all of them they still peck and chase each other around the whole tank...pretty punchy bunch. I like to call them the 'terror squad'. There...

OH...once again thanks everyone for all the advice. :D

Yes, I agree that I'm very paranoid also. You aren't the only one CHristmasfish. :? Heating is a factor that can make or break an aquarium...not to mention all the fish in it. I've taken into consideration all the horrible stories of people having a bad heater and it just ruining their tank...

:? Ahh...yes I almost overlooked one of the most important things about these beauties...the water conditions necessary. How ignorant of me. :oops: However I do see this as very possible with further dedication. Still in the debating process...eels are definitely my thing but I wouldn't...

8O I think I've just found something awesome...I'm seriously considering getting an A. elipsifer eel. Though no much is really known about them, no better place to find out if anyone does have any enounter with them then here. My question perstains more towards compatibility of eels in...

Thank you all :) I've been asking around and found that alot of people seem to like both brands equally. I've also heard a pretty good amout about the Ebo Jagars. Guess it's between the those two brands. Personally I'm not picky about price (although good deals are great to come by)...I just...

Hello out there...I'm no expert in the aquarium keeping hobby and don't know too much as far as quality of the various products out there. I've recently set up a 55 Gal tank and have everything I need for it but a heater. I've looked up some name brands and was thinking about purchasing a...

Okay...did the google search, along with all the other sites that ferret listed. Thanks guys! :D Really appreciate it. I'm guessing he's a stressed out little eel by my observations. I've tried to make conditions ideal for him. (i.e. made couple of large caves with rocks, got a whole...

Hello out there. :) I've recently received a Fire Eel as a gift. I'm not too sure that I know much about them and would appreciate anyone's help or advice that they could give. I have done some fair research about them on the net but I've found that to be really limited also. I've never had...
