    Glad to see that the eel is eating now.

    I kept an electric eel almost 20 years ago. Hands down the hardiest fish I ever kept. Survived ph crash, heater failure in summer and winter. Ate anything, including algae wafers

    • @tucker8364
      @tucker8364 Před 7 měsíci +1

      What was the size of the tank and how many gallons do you recommend?

    • @Qyrnth
      @Qyrnth Před 4 měsíci

      LOL I laughed at algae wafers. XD

    • @Bread-Sliced
      @Bread-Sliced Před 2 měsíci

      Finally - something as hardy as plecos

    • @FantomPhoenix
      @FantomPhoenix Před 2 měsíci

      ​@@tucker8364 I've been wondering this myself as info on how to care for these creatures is fairly hard to come by, yet finding videos of them being fed certainly isn't.
      I've heard 700 gallons is too small yet other sources say 2040 Litres (bit over 500 gallons) is about the bare minimum with room for upgrades.

    So glad the eel is doing better! Was really hoping the King could convince it to eat :D Also, that face peeking out of the pipe!! So cute in a prehistoric kind of way! Need an acrylic LED sign with that face etched in to light up when Eelon puts off energy

  • @bryanhaen6750

    Gallery looks great! Eel is super cool! Thanks for taking us with you on this adventure.

    I can’t imagine the sense of relief you must’ve felt when he gobbled up that shrimp! Way to go Tesla!

    Joey! Thank you for sharing this first hand experience getting the eel to start eating and your pellet tricks. These are gonna help a lot of people!!

  • @kzookid2051
    @kzookid2051 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Awesome! Congrats on coming up with the different ideas to keep trying until one finally worked. A hunter's gotta hunt. He's so cool to watch up close.

    😍 That 1st bite is so satisfying 😍

  • @mferg-fl5gs
    @mferg-fl5gs Před rokem +4

    Great news! Awesome fish choice. Sure hope you come round and invest in some Autralian lungfish! Now that would be the ultimate prehistoric fish to raise big and breed!

    i really like the rack system. I like that the tanks don't have a harsh border on them. the rimless look is nice

  • @StormCaller5
    @StormCaller5 Před rokem +6

    Personally, I would still leave the pipes, unless you hate them. But yeah. Definitely more taller plants. He'd like them and they're pretty. 😊 He's got a cute face

  • @mattordiway8631
    @mattordiway8631 Před 11 měsíci +1

    You know, it's simple little tips like this that can save fish. Such a great idea to get it to eat. This is why I watch videos like these. I wouldn't probably of thought of that, but because of your video I am armed with more information that may be useful for the future. Love the new look of the 2000g. It's nice and clean looking. Can't wait to see the next video. 🤘

  • @emulove777

    Some floating plants like water Lilly’s would look amazing in the eel tank. With the long roots for cover

  • @michaellazor5667
    @michaellazor5667 Před 10 měsíci +1

    I'd like to see you do a curious tap on the side of the fish. Brave wilderness did that. He felt a little shocked, but he wasn't hurt. He also touched him where they don't give us much shock.

  • @audrameyer9558
    @audrameyer9558 Před rokem

    Right on Joey! Glad he is eating now. I am very interested to see if he ends up eating pellets in the future. I need to try that "sneak a pellet" trick!

    @melg8475 Před 3 měsíci

    I'm so glad you got him to eat! this just came up in my feed, so I'm new here. Were you able to get him some more plant cover? Also, what about getting him a single longer piece of pipe? i love this little guy and would love to learn/see more! 🩶

  • @ronaldtreitner1460
    @ronaldtreitner1460 Před rokem

    yup back when i used to have some tanks the first thing i always tried to do was see what kind of care/maintenance they needed and food before i got anything, btw, its always far better to own your own place if you don't do not get serious.

    @eddyortiz8110 Před rokem +1

    Cool. That size will Nail you big time if he feels threatened or you try to touch him. He will light you up before your finger touches him. He pretty big and very cool. I think in a couple weeks you'll be able to pet him.😅❤

  • @eekaspeeka5704
    @eekaspeeka5704 Před 11 měsíci +6

    I think the electric eel is one of the best additions you've made to the gallery. there's so much potential with him on a research level, but also an artistic level to find out what scape he likes.

  • @mayukhbera

    Gallery looks dope, I think you should ditch those DIY lights and throw some of those black box lights on top. It would make them pop more and match them aquarium theme.

    I've been wondering about the electric (quasi) eel. It's fascinating, if unusual fish to keep.

  • @TLCole425
    @TLCole425 Před 11 měsíci

    not directly related to this video but does your book include how to build aquariums in detail? Including type of acrylic , thickness of acrylic formula, what to ask for when ordering the acrylic, best tips etc/ If yes, remind me the name so I may purchase.
