WOW! I always thought that a Fire Eel needed its own tank. You have helped me a lot. I am setting up a 120gallon with 2 Alligator Gars, one or two Oscars, and a Fire Eel(getting it online so I can get all the fish to be about the same size).
glad you like it... yeah they are great fish and live well with oscars... dont think the alli gars will bother them though you should get spotted gar instead... as alligators grow like 5ft long"!
they are definately worth it... and pretty easy to keep too... and if you give them a couple of years youll have a 3ft long monster fish that you can keep in a 125G tank :D
one is a pure red oscar the other has a bit of tiger in him (the one with the black markings on his side). so yeah they will look pretty much like that when bigger
300 gallons wow. That would be huge. There is a 250 gallon at a pet store I go to and that thing is just massive! Your Eel and Oscars would absolutely love you for that, but it seems they love you already.
I havent taken them out to measure them but they are around the 30-35cm mark... very thick aswell... they arent growing much longer anymore, only getting really chunky :)
they can eat a lot... i like to give them some live food for treats every week.... i usually give them around 50 rivershrimps on saterdays and it goes in roughly 2-3 minutes
Love this tank setup you have there 5-5

The spotted are small and can keep in a 120G

ya my Alligator Gars are only like 3 inches long right now. I have never seen a Fire Eel in my local fish stores so I might have to buy it online.

I am trying to convince my GF that we need a 300G tank hehe... we'll see
twicksisted 2 years ago
That Fire Eel will eventually outgrow your aquarium. You'll have to invest in a larger tank when the time comes.
BigFatCheese100 2 years ago
yeah they all in a 150G now... and looking to go bigger aswell :)

How did you manage to keep your tank so clean?
92959921 2 years ago
that tank was very overfiltered... used a fluval fx5 and a tetratec EX1200...
I also used a lo9t of actiuvated carbon to take out any discolouration in the water...
New tank that they have now has two fluval FX5's :)

55 UK Gallons... before you tell me its too small for 2 oscars, dont worry as I am getting a much, much larger tank soon :)
