[karthickjk1]

[mmzero562]

@emuboy20 im scared that it would eat my zebra danios

[gassera]

@mmzero562  It would not eat them, They don't even hurt my molly fry.

[ALoveForOrcas]

@mmzero562 i have a zebra dino and i had my peacock eel for a day before he died :( He went between my filter (undergravel) and there was a space he got to and somehow he managed ti get smushed. :'( but he didnt bother my zebra dino. Im getting another one today but i removed the undergravel filter so it wouldnt happen again. RIP Mochie. (Moe-chi)

[bowtietyler]

Very cool man. Hand feeding isnt a problem with your other fish is it? Im buying a 55 gallon tank tomorrow and its looking like this is going to be my first fish I buy.

[theneikocompany]

What are you feeding it?

[iluvedward12243]

AAAW, he looks so happy. ^.^ good job.

[cleerin1]

um hi i got one 2day and i was just wondering how do they eat couse the first thing the little guy did whas just burrow down lol

[SouthernBASSpros]

@cleerin1 No they are very peaceful fish and have a tiny mouth for smaller foods and yeah mine just burries and comes out to eat at night.

[webk8]

Would these eat anything the size of a Tiger Barb? I have 1 Tiger Barb, 2 little Apistos (or Cichlids) and I don't know if it will bother, eat them. They are about an inch long. Would you know?

[ca13814]

these things jump... dont they?

[silverheart105]

[phazon1029]

Thats awesome! has he ever bite u by mistake?

[jcarlan37]

WHAT ARE YOU FEEING HIM? MY PEACOCK EEL ISNT EATING MY FREEZE DRIED BLOODWORMS! ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!??!

[TMSreptiles]

[rennieg3]

@jcarlan37 if you got other fish they are probly eating it so try hand feeding

[javiermartinez182]

@jcarlan37 you can give it :Flake, Frozen, Freeze-dried i saw that at pet smarts page look at it it will tell u :)

[PackLeaderAlee]

Hey, I have two peacock eels and they love eating worms from my hands, however I'm kinda scared they'll bite me. If so does it hurt. I also have two African Clawed frogs that eat from my hands but they don't hurt if they bite.

[insectsfairandmoreSA]

my peacock eal doesnt even eat anything could someone help please.

[nicofish1000]

well stick your hand in the tank to where his nose sticks out then put a worm on his nose thats what I do for mine and he started eating on his second day

[TheAlbermarleSound]

@insectsfairandmoreSA What have you tried feeding it so far?

[zink220]

im going to buy 5 of those and just have a 20-29 gallon tank for just them

[peachey2021]

then you are gonna need a much bigger tank than a 29gal> !!!!!

[insectsfairandmoreSA]

dude they r going to always fight with each other until one remains.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

im torn between getting a peacock or a bichir. im leaning toward peacock because they are a little smaller and they seem less lazy. penny for your thoughts youtube

[TheDank1887]

badass, i have a 8-9 inch...hoping to be hand-feeding soon. check him on my vids

[crazycow148]

they grow up to 14" cottencandyisyummy

[ChromeGhost0219]

I used to have one but it died :(

[reptileboy1001]

That's cool.

[BallPythonlover]

how big do peacock eels grow?

[cottoncandyisyummy]

mine is 8 inches and hides a lot

any tips on encouraigng it out?

[STERNOTH]

it depends on every animal, this peacock eel looks outgoing, and some could be just shy ? it depends on the personality .

like all animals .

[Metalluciifer666]

my peacock eel never comes out from underneath the sand as ive never seen it eat i dont know how its still alive

[loadedplanet]

I live in new york so does any body know where ican get a peacock eel?

[Metalluciifer666]

petco, petsmart usually has them if a local fish store doesn't already have them

[tortoisegirl19]

mine did it on it's first try, is scared the hell outta me though because it sucked it from my hand. but, Noodle Caboodle is loving every Wednesday when he gets his worm ^.^

[whothq18]

that cool.how do you get him to do that?

[cdoggy007]

mine has like a bent beak, he had it since i got him. (about four hours ago) I havent fed em yet and i dont know what to feed him.

[epiphone06]

feed him frozen blood worms

[bacardix89]

feed him negro fingers

[MysticMysticMan]

man i wish mine would do that but i noticed wen i waced the vid he had stripes so i think he could possibly be a striped peacock eel u probly no but jus from my expierience thats wut i think he is so ya i like it!!

[buki671]

are there any other tankmates in there..

[ShotgunAndAShovel]

BTW- They're freshwater eels.

[ShotgunAndAShovel]

A lot of Peacock Eels won't take anything but live food. I guess you got one of the stubborn ones rkn4x4. Next time get some live food for it, and then you can train it to eat the easy stuff. (I'm guessing it died?)

I made sure my tank was set-up with lots of live food living in the substrate.

That's really neat l0G4N34L!

[tyler0836]

are they salt water fish or fresh water?

[rkn4x4]

nice eel. i got a striped peacock eel at petsmart but i cant get him to eat anything. ive had him for about a month and tried flakes, freezedried bloodworms, and frozen blood worms. any suggestions? thanks

[NeonGenesisX]

what food u feeding him =]?
