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
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 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.
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.
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!
Hey Joey no-doubt-about-it the coolest fish ever on any TH-cam Channel ,please do regular updates a lot of us could never keep a fish like that but would love to ,I'm glad he's eating for you I bet it'll start to get real plump good job can't wait to see more videos on him
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.
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. 🤘
That's awesome 🙏 glad to see eelon eating . I never would have thought of feeding that way that's all those years of experience coming through right there 👌
excited to see everything moving fast in the gallery and love what your doing congrats but I wanaa see the process like the tanks longer videos and more hopefully!!
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
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! 🩶
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!
Cool I like eels especially The famous electric Eel he seems very peaceful guess they don't want to be bothered so when something does he makes sure he turns the lights out on them literally ⚡⚡⚡☠️☠️
I actually saw them at the Seattle Aquarium years ago, feeding there electric eel Giant Nightcrawlers . It was a massive old Eel, and he was slurping those worms down.
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.
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.😅❤
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.
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.
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.
Good that he is eating. Would a hide/pipe made from a conductive plastic be for inviting over the non conductive ones u are using. There is conductive pla for 3d printers.
You do not need to touch him, in fact that exact eel once discharged a low-mid level shock from across the tank that I felt. Didn't hurt, but tensed the muscles in my arm for sure.
So happy to see him eating!! Maybe he would like a cave to hide in. I can just imagine him curled up inside with his nose poking out! The gallery is looking great
Glad to see that the eel is eating now.

Gallery looks great! Eel is super cool! Thanks for taking us with you on this adventure.
My pleasure
I can’t imagine the sense of relief you must’ve felt when he gobbled up that shrimp! Way to go Tesla!
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
What was the size of the tank and how many gallons do you recommend?
LOL I laughed at algae wafers. XD
Finally - something as hardy as plecos

That's because it shouldn't be in a tank!
Glad to see your electric eel is doing better

i really like the rack system. I like that the tanks don't have a harsh border on them. the rimless look is nice
I’m a huge fan you inspired me to start my own channel keep up the good work!
😍 That 1st bite is so satisfying 😍
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!
Heck yea! Such an underrated fish
love the galley and happy the eel is eating now!! He’s so beautiful
Nice update!!! You’re a good fish Dad. 😊

Glad to see Eelon is getting comfortable with his new home and eating cool

The fact that he comes up to you to get petted is so sweet❤
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!!

That's awesome 🙏 glad to see eelon eating . I never would have thought of feeding that way that's all those years of experience coming through right there 👌
Some floating plants like water Lilly’s would look amazing in the eel tank. With the long roots for cover
Way to go! Really glad you got your eel to start eating. I hope he really thrives.
This is awesome update . Yes he eating know.🐟😀👍 Joey that was smart to put the shrimp water in the tank. Great feeding video.
Cool fish tanks, beautiful fish and great videos ! Good job Bro ! 🎉
I am so glad the eel is eating, thanjs for the update
excited to see everything moving fast in the gallery and love what your doing congrats but I wanaa see the process like the tanks longer videos and more hopefully!!
Love the colors of the 2k and happy to see he’s eating. Gallery looking great.
Remember I told you, Bob Ross got nothing on you 😂🤙🏻
Thank God you figured out what works for him and got him to eat, such a great dad that he has now, 👍👍👍
A great dad, seriously??
Congrats on getting eel to eat!!! So creative how you did it and caught it on video EPIC

So glad its eating finally and that things worked out well in the end. That was was a bit nerve wracking wondering how he was going to do.
Really pleased he's eating! The eel is the coolest thing in the fish room at the moment! 👍
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!

This is so cool, please keep posting updates about this guy!
thanks for the update. I was really wondering if he finally started eating.
I suggest use the cocktail shrimp. They use the minerals & nutrients from the shell
This really shows a deep understanding of fish
I LOVE electric eels so much. Hes so cute!!! ❤❤❤
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.
Happy to see it doing well
God damn I absolutely love how the gallery is looking ❤️
Yay! so happy to see he's eating
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.😅❤
A new member I love your program keep it coming❤️💪
Looks like he's settling in👍
Really great to see it eat. Always a worry with new fish. Especially something like that. I can imagine it was crazy expensive.
More videos on him please, new here and i loved that you got such an interesting fish right when i subscribed
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.
Coolest pet ever 😊 I setup a mini pond 😊
I’m so happy your eel is eating again.
Never thought I would find an eel so cute; thanks for sharing.
Nice trick to get him to eat. I knew if anybody could figure that one out. It would be you. Congratulations
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 love him/her..❤the best to you!! 👍
What happened to the koi??? Swim/pond debacle
He's adorable, like a long, legless axolotl! I want one.
this was the best video ever!!!
Well done getting him eating n all the best with him buddy
So glad he is eating!
Finally... eelon is doing fine... thanks for this update...
Just new here
Have you felt the corners inside those pipes? The edges are super sharp
So glad to see he is eating!
How about some cork/drift wood or branches? Thats what they tend to be around in the Amazon
Looks like the basilisk out of Harry potter and chamber of secrets when it's swimming through the pipes
Great job!
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.
Good that he is eating. Would a hide/pipe made from a conductive plastic be for inviting over the non conductive ones u are using. There is conductive pla for 3d printers.
Glad that he is eating!
glad the eel started eating.. I bet you could put leads to an led sign or light and when he pulses it would light up...
That feeding technic was some ninja sh1t!! Really cool
The white in the gallery Looks amazing
So glad to see he's eating!
Super exciting that Eelon is finally eating! 🎉
Real happy to see him eat cujo that's what he looks like maybe that'd be good name for him glad to see he's got a happy place to be
You do not need to touch him, in fact that exact eel once discharged a low-mid level shock from across the tank that I felt. Didn't hurt, but tensed the muscles in my arm for sure.
Yay he's eating! ❤
Glad he is doing well !
So happy to see him eating!! Maybe he would like a cave to hide in. I can just imagine him curled up inside with his nose poking out!
The gallery is looking great
Glad he is eating! 😊
Omg that was too funny 😂 Eelon made a liar 🤥 outta you!
Yay you and the eel!!!
Glad the eel is finally eating. Do you have a boy or girl eel?
It’s a great feeling when an animal finally eats 👍
Aye he'll be in healthy shape soon!
For what I remember, electric eels prefer logs to hide in. Also, for feeding, have you tried a couple of feeder goldfish; they are predators.
Awesome!
Thanks!!
Eeeelllon eating whooo hooo about as close to having a dinosaur as you can get safely
Lmao "What happened to the eel??" All scary! Nothing, he's fine and he eats now.
He is so cute.
Pleased to see him eating.😊
Nice to see bro. Cool fish.
damn this fish is so nice. u could make a pipe and glue like rocks on it so it looks like a cave.
maybe put some plants on it too
nice but what can it power
When and where will you release the podcast with Katie C.?
He is a real hunter 🤟😎🤟
Beautiful
I love the eel.
You might need something in the tank closer to surface so he doesn't have to go so far to breath.
