freshwater eel, but don’t know what it is… ?
i’ve had a freshwater eel for a while but don’t know what it is… It’s dark silver, lighter on the bottom, long 1 piece dorsal fin. head is shaped that of a fish head but flat, it is about 40cm in length. fairly sure that it is not a “rope fish”. It is housed with several african cichlids, a 15cm long albino sucka,1 chinese algae eater, 5 mystery snails, 1 spiny/tyre track eel, 1 small bristle nose pleco and several shrimp (not sure of breed). Environment good condition with lots of live plants, some hiding places, good water condition, etc. Both eels a very active (day and night) all fish are hand fed. The tank is only though 3-4 foot long, but a good start!
Feed: live bloodworms and shrimp, frozen bloodworms, ready to introduce frozen brine shrimp! small and medium floating cichlid pellets, cichlid flake, algae bits, on occation feeder fish.

My channel catfish, which I recently caught, won’t eat. Is there any way to get it to eat the fish food?
I caught the fish in freshwater harbour with pieces of frozen corn. Will the fish die if it doesn’t start eating right away? I purchased shrimp tablets for bottom feeders, but he doesn’t seem to be interested. Is this because he just isn’t used to that kind of food? Hopefully when he gets hungry enough, he’ll start to dig around and learn to like the shrimp pellets.

Crayfish to be added to a 10 gl. Would it be safe?
I have a 10 gl freshwater with marine sand bottom, 2 fake coral pieces, a rock arch with fake plants attached and 2 real plants. Also a male betta, columbian zebra pleco, ghost shrimp and MTS. Would it be safe to add a small crayfish? I would purchase this crayfish from a lfs. I have been told that crayfish will eat fish and then I have been told they won’t if the fish is bigger and faster than the cray. So would it be safe for my existing critters to add a tankmate?
Darryl,
I found my columbian at a lfs and they didn’t know what it was so I played dumb too and paid 13.00 for him. LOL I know I stole him.
