Hi all,
first time posting but been a long time lurker.
I’m considering setting up a Fire Eel community tank in my new 318g tank. My LFS has a sudden supply of 3-4’’ fire eels, but after reading 70+ pages of FE threads I’m thinking of getting 5 of them and growing them out and slowly selling the shy and fussy ones until I have the one good one that will suit the tank fully grown. Is this a good idea? Or should I just get the one and see if I’m lucky to get one that feeds well and doesn’t hide all the time.
