Description
Add a touch of the exotic to your aquarium with the stunning Fire Eel (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia) for sale.
Approximate Size: 12″ – 14″
Known for its striking red lateral stripes and inquisitive personality, the Fire Eel (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia) for sale is the crown jewel of the spiny eel family. While they may start small, these impressive fish can grow into magnificent “river monsters,” often becoming tame enough to hand-feed once they settle into their new home.
Key Features & Care:
Appearance: Deep brown-to-black body accented by brilliant orange and red markings that glow under aquarium lighting.
Behavior: Peaceful but predatory; they are best kept with larger tank mates that cannot be swallowed.
Habitat: Requires plenty of hiding spots, such as PVC pipes or rock caves, and a soft sand substrate to protect their delicate underbellies.
Diet: Carnivorous. They thrive on a diet of frozen bloodworms, mysis shrimp, and chopped earthworms.
Note: Fire Eels are skilled escape artists! Ensure your aquarium has a tight-fitting lid with no small gaps.
