Convict2161 said:Yeah I'm really upset!! I would never get another one either! Wouldn't wanna put another eel through that! My guys are tough!!
Sharkbait54 said:Are they both dead or just one?
Hholly said:So bummed out for you and your eel. I know you're trying not to overfeed your guys. But do you think they might be really hungry to go into such a frenzy?
I dunno. I feed them a good portion and monitor them while feeding. Maybe feed everyday? Who knows.... Who knows.... These guys kill everything! Even each other. I'm currently keeping an eye on one guy who doesn't look so good. But it's so hard to net these guys especially in my set up! Ya can't just start moving things.
NyteGTI said:man I feed mine a little bit twice a day to keep the aggression down and so far haven't had casualties adding new tank mates. you may want to switch up your feeding schedules. I feed everyday when I get up in the morning and after the GF and I are finished with dinner(usually those times are 7am & 7pm) it keeps them happy & they still are ALWAYS looking for food. but not TOO much aggression even from the mating pair.
NyteGTI said:try switching it up. I just bought an autofeeder thats feeds in case I don't get up in time or don't make it home in time to feed them. easy way to see if you can fix your agression issues.
I'm just a little discouraged right now. Getting advice to remove my bumble bees and other fish. I even got dither fish and gonna get more tomorrow. I don't know man. This stinks. I'm just not feeling it right now. I save lives and put fires out, I go into Haz-Mat situations and bring people back from the dead and a fish tank is breaking me down.

If anyone should feel like a jerk it would be me. I tried to add some of those medium sized Tinfoil Barb's to my JD/Bichir tank and somehow my Bichir ate one and choked to death last night. My absolute favorite fish. Saaaaaad day..
