About the Xanthic Fire Eel

Name: Xanthic Fire Eel

Max Size: Xanthic Fire Eels can grow up to a maximum size of about 24-36 inches (61-91 cm) in length, making them a large and impressive species.

Recommend pH: 6.5-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 77-82Β°F (25-28Β°C)

Diet: Xanthic Fire Eels are carnivorous and primarily feed on meaty foods. They are opportunistic predators and enjoy live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, blackworms, shrimp, and small fish. They may also accept high-quality sinking pellets or carnivorous fish flakes. It's important to offer them a varied diet to ensure optimal nutrition.

Temperament: Xanthic Fire Eels are generally peaceful but can become territorial as they grow larger. They are best kept in a species-specific aquarium or with large, robust tank mates that can tolerate their presence. Avoid housing them with small, delicate fish that may be seen as potential prey.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Xanthic Fire Eels are non-schooling fish and prefer to be kept as solitary individuals. They are naturally solitary in the wild and do not require the presence of conspecifics.

Possible types of tank mates: Due to their size and predatory nature, suitable tank mates for Xanthic Fire Eels include large cichlids, catfish species, or other robust, non-aggressive fish that can hold their own. Avoid keeping them with small or slow-moving species that may be seen as food.

Behavior: Xanthic Fire Eels are nocturnal and predominantly active during the night. They are highly skilled burrowers and spend much of their time hiding in the substrate or among other hiding spots within the aquarium. They have a unique elongated body shape and are capable of impressive swimming speeds when they are out and about. Provide them with plenty of hiding places, such as caves or PVC pipe sections, to help them feel secure and reduce stress.

Fun Fact: The Xanthic Fire Eel is known for its striking appearance, featuring a vibrant yellow or golden coloration. This xanthic variant is a rare and prized form of the Fire Eel species. Its bright coloration adds a captivating and eye-catching element to any aquarium. However, it's important to note that Xanthic Fire Eels require a large and adequately maintained aquarium to accommodate their size and specific care needs.

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.
