Nice & I loved the eel, when it followed your hand upto the top. Could you provide a close-up shot of your eel..?!

What are the other fish swimming around?! Won't they get snacked upon by the eel?!

Keluthi, the fire eels are pretty much non predatory when it comes to small fish, they don't go for them

This I can say because I hand feed them live shrimps as well as earthworms, on one instance I caught a live danio and tried to feed that to one of the fire eels, although the eel snatched the fish from my hand, the moment it realized what it had swallowed was a fish it violently shook its head and spat the fish right out

When I feed them live shrimps they love them
