Fire Eel Is Missing

[BiagioD]

I recently bought a Fire eel and i haven't seen him in days. He is hiding in my decoration and he wont come out , so i don't know if he's ok. What should i do?

i havent had a fire eel my self but my friend has. Hefinds if he turns his tank light of and then feeds it comes out. if he doesnt turn the light of he never sees it. Im not sure if all fire eels do this but his seems very shy and does not like light.

let him hide.. as long as u can see him..
when he is more confident he will be out and about

I;ve had plenty of experience with these, they can be tricky. If you get one that feeds then your laughing as they are greedy so and sos but if you get one that doesn;t eat its difficult to get them eating.

try some live or frozen bloodworm at lights out, you can tell whenthey eat as there head stabs the worm and jerks whilst it swallows the worm

Once eating move to more substantial food
