Care

Eels are nocturnal creatures that spend most of their time hiding in caves or crevices. They are ambush predators that feed on live prey, such as fish, shrimp, and worms. In captivity, eels can be fed a variety of live or frozen foods, such as ghost shrimp, feeder guppies, and earthworms.

Eels are sensitive to water quality, so it is important to keep their aquarium clean and well-filtered. The water should be between 72-82 degrees Fahrenheit and have a pH of 6.5-7.5. Eels also need plenty of hiding places, such as caves, driftwood, and plants.

Diet

As mentioned above, eels are carnivores that feed on live prey. In captivity, they can be fed a variety of live or frozen foods, such as ghost shrimp, feeder guppies, and earthworms. It is important to vary their diet to ensure that they are getting all the nutrients they need.

Eels should be fed 2-3 times per week. The amount of food you give them will depend on their size and activity level.

Supplies

In addition to an aquarium, you will need the following supplies to care for an eel:

* A filter * A heater * A thermometer * A water testing kit * A gravel vacuum * A net * Food * Hiding places

Aquarium

The size of the aquarium you need will depend on the size of your eel. A good rule of thumb is to provide at least 10 gallons of water for every 12 inches of eel. The aquarium should also be long enough for the eel to swim comfortably.

Eels need plenty of hiding places, so be sure to include caves, driftwood, and plants in the aquarium. You should also provide a tight-fitting lid, as eels are known to be escape artists.

Diseases

Eels are susceptible to a variety of diseases, including:

* Bacterial infections * Fungal infections * Parasitic infections * Viral infections

It is important to quarantine new eels before adding them to your main aquarium. This will help to prevent the spread of disease.

If you think your eel is sick, it is important to take it to a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Eels can make interesting and rewarding pets. However, it is important to do your research before getting one, as they have specific care requirements that must be met. By following the advice in this guide, you can help ensure that your eel lives a long and healthy life.
