About the Red Fire Eel

Name: Red Fire Eel

Max Size: Red Fire Eels can grow up to an impressive size of 24 to 36 inches (60 to 90 cm) in length, making them a large and eye-catching addition to a freshwater aquarium.

Recommend pH: Red Fire Eels prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. It is recommended to maintain a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5 for optimal health and well-being.

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): Red Fire Eels thrive in tropical temperatures ranging from 75 to 82Β°F (24 to 28Β°C). It's important to provide them with a stable and adequately heated environment.

Diet: Red Fire Eels are carnivorous and primarily feed on live or frozen foods. They enjoy a diet consisting of small fish, shrimp, worms, and other meaty foods. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive proper nutrition.

Temperament: Red Fire Eels are generally peaceful but can become territorial as they grow larger. They may display some aggression towards tank mates that invade their space. It's important to provide them with ample hiding spots and choose tank mates that are compatible and can handle their size and occasional territorial behavior.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Red Fire Eels are solitary fish and do not require schooling companions. They are comfortable on their own and prefer to explore their environment independently.

Possible types of tank mates: Red Fire Eels should be kept with larger, peaceful fish that can tolerate their size and occasional territorial behavior. Suitable tank mates may include larger cichlids, catfish, and other non-aggressive species that won't be viewed as potential prey.

Behavior: Red Fire Eels are known for their elongated, snake-like bodies and mesmerizing swimming movements. They are primarily nocturnal and spend much of their time hiding during the day, venturing out at night to search for food. They are skilled burrowers and may create tunnels or hide within decorations in the aquarium.

Fun Fact: The Red Fire Eel is named for its vibrant red coloration and its resemblance to a flowing flame. It is a visually striking and captivating fish that can become a centerpiece in a large aquarium. Despite their eel-like appearance, they are not true eels but rather belong to the Mastacembelidae family, commonly known as spiny eels. Red Fire Eels require a spacious tank, proper filtration, and a well-balanced diet to thrive in captivity. Their unique appearance and intriguing behavior make them a fascinating addition to any aquarist's collection.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
