I Made a New Home for my 34" FIRE EEL

Hey everyone. Today we have a quick update on the 650 gallon tank! We've made a few adjustments to make it a better home for Sampson, our 34" Fire Eel. We'll also talk about some other fun updates to the tank as a whole. I hope you enjoy this tank tour with me.

[@oscardean6351]

I do have a 2 foot tire track, but I would love a fire eel he’s a big boy, awesome👍☹️

[@Riffwaters]

Thank you! And yea Tire Tracks are really cool. Sounds like you have a nice one.

[@AntonioCastro-ws8uk]

My about the same size

[@Herwaa]

Nice video. What is that thing on the side of the dark fish? Looks like barnacles

[@Riffwaters]

That's an injury from some of the other fish. Happens occasionally amongst that species and always heals with no adverse effects.

[@reds7even831]

Hello . How much inches is sampson now ? Best regards from germany

[@Riffwaters]

Guten tag! Sampson is 34" currently. I think he is full grown now, and won't get any bigger.

[@ioanpaduraru9476]

Tank size?

[@ostravia]

My fire eel is about 2 feet long and will only eat earthworms - nothing else. Do you know how I can get her to eat something else? Thank you.

[@Riffwaters]

I had luck making frozen food out of fish and veggie puree, then cutting it into long, thin slices. I think it tricked him at first, thinking it was a worm, then he realized it was still food and kept eating.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

do giant gouramis bubble nest ?

[@Riffwaters]

I believe they do, but I have not seen it yet with these two.

[@drick2659]

What are you using for filtration for this Aquarium?

[@sabildgaard]

Can the chromide eggs hatch in non- brackish water ?

[@Riffwaters]

Yep! :)

[@sabildgaard]

@@Riffwaters cool - i bought 4 👍

[@callumcollins7256]

What is the big white fish new to the fish game 😅

[@Riffwaters]

Hi! That is an Albino Giant Gourami. They get massive.

[@callumcollins7256]

@@Riffwaters ahh cool will have to look into them

[@AntonioCastro-ws8uk]

Are you going to take the eggs out

[@Riffwaters]

I did not, but the parents have so far managed to protect them. :)

[@neutronshiva2498]

Are theese gourami really albino? They dont have red eyes. Could just be regular white non-albino variety.

[@Riffwaters]

You are correct! Albino Giant Gourami is a commonly used name, but 'leucistic' is a more accurate term. The regular color morph is gray and bruised-blue.

[@zx9music704]

Get real plants

[@sombrerofish47B2]

YESSS

[@DJbradee]

Shows how big Bala sharks can really get, those things shouldn’t be sold to people with there 5 gallons at petco and petsmart

[@Riffwaters]

Totally agree!
