vanimal said:What are you feeding?? Mine only eats live ghost shrimp. If your feeding something like blood worms he probably wont eat them and you must change his diet soon.
vanimal said:Most love earth worms but some don't. Some wont eat frozen foods but all eels will take ghost shrimp. I suggest you feed those, mine lives off of them.
Guinness said:I have put ghost shrimp in before but my ghost knife fish gets them, the fire eel don't seem to like em. But he loves the bloodworm and earth worm.
Why do you suggest I feed them? My fire eel is feeding well on a variety of foods and is healthy.
He's growing well on them. He also likes tetra prima sinking pellet.
