Re: Fire Eel
Here is my fire eel Slinky 
I love him so much, he hides behind the filter and comes out when i tap the top of the tank as he knows he will be getting fed! Lol I am thinking about getting him a little hiding tube but he is not really that shy. He sits in his castle alot like he is the king

Re: Fire Eel
There are smaller worms, like bloodworms or blackworms. They really don't eat much else. W/o live worms, they will most likely starve to death.

Re: Fire Eel
I have a fire eel, It took me a long time to get it to eat. Try live black worms. mine went nut for them once i tried that. Use a turkey baster. Mine outgrew the black worms so now i just go to like Fred Meyers and buy the bait nightcrawlers. He just loves feeding time. I hope he will be a good tankmate to my puffer when my puff gets bigger.
Tanks I currently own:
125g freshwater tank w\ 30g sump, 840gph pump, ocean clear canister filter,
20" fire eel, and Dib the Fahaka
55g freshwater tank w\ Magnum 330 filter
Tigger the South American Puffer
5.5g nano saltwater tank
Clean up crew + coral + a strawberry dottyback

Re: Fire Eel
What kind of puffer do you have?
Edit: I see you have a fahaka. I wouldn't keep that puffer with any fish. 99% of them are vicious killers.
