75 Gallon Tank: What to keep with a fire eel?

polarbear87 · June 1st, 2009

How much tank would I need (minimum) to support a fire eel? I'm aware that they can grow to be quite large.

They do grow huge. I would keep 1 in at least a 300L(55gal) 1.2m tank but you will need to get a bigger tank as the fire eel grows. Also dont keep them with smaller fish. Ie: tetra(neons)

Thanks a lot! Now time to find a 55+ gallon! :-D

I would actually recommend a 75gallon tank as they grow to 1m long if looked after.
