Really Weird Fire Eel

[miketyler]

K ive had a fire eel for about 3 years he seems in good health I have all the params are good never bad and the odd time i see him in his hidding home and hes upside down its really weird hes like this for a couple of hours. I got a dew worm and and gave it to him and he flips around grabs the worm and comes out of his home and hes fine. What do you think how long do they live?

That sounds like pretty normal behaviour from a fire eel.

My fire eel recently died and was at least 11 years old and 27" long.

During the day mine is wrapped round the filter intake pipe and then in the evening it goes into the bogwwod cave and sits with my pim then he goes and sticks his head in the fx5 out take pipe and just goes with the flow.
