    Glad to see that the eel is eating now.

    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

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

    Glad to see your electric eel is doing better

    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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

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

    • @Qyrnth
      @Qyrnth 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      LOL I laughed at algae wafers. XD

    • @Bread-Sliced
      @Bread-Sliced 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Finally - something as hardy as plecos

    • @FantomPhoenix
      @FantomPhoenix 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@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.

    • @macka5515
      @macka5515 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's because it shouldn't be in a tank!

  • @KarmelApple-xr2du
    @KarmelApple-xr2du ปีที่แล้ว +7

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

  • @kzookid2051
    @kzookid2051 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

  • @NiX_aKi

    😍 That 1st bite is so satisfying 😍

    Nice update!!! You’re a good fish Dad. 😊

  • @eekaspeeka5704
    @eekaspeeka5704 ปีที่แล้ว +2

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

  • @Fishdynasty1

    I’m a huge fan you inspired me to start my own channel keep up the good work!

  • @priscillaaaamay
    @priscillaaaamay ปีที่แล้ว +1

    love the galley and happy the eel is eating now!! He’s so beautiful

  • @michaellazor5667
    @michaellazor5667 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

  • @keitht7546
    @keitht7546 ปีที่แล้ว +13

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

  • @mferg-fl5gs
    @mferg-fl5gs ปีที่แล้ว +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!

    • @xenokitty
      @xenokitty ปีที่แล้ว

      Heck yea! Such an underrated fish

  • @MrEvilmitch
    @MrEvilmitch ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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 👌

  • @xlazydogx3123
    @xlazydogx3123 ปีที่แล้ว +2

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

  • @rivercitypugs

    Thank God you figured out what works for him and got him to eat, such a great dad that he has now, 👍👍👍

  • @mattordiway8631
    @mattordiway8631 ปีที่แล้ว +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. 🤘

  • @StormCaller5
    @StormCaller5 ปีที่แล้ว +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

  • @Witchfoot.Incorporated
    @Witchfoot.Incorporated ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I suggest use the cocktail shrimp. They use the minerals & nutrients from the shell

  • @sverre054
    @sverre054 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @darylmorse

  • @melg8475
    @melg8475 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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! 🩶

  • @drunkinzt
    @drunkinzt ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @rebeccasabourin6193
    @rebeccasabourin6193 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    He is so cute.

  • @eddyortiz8110
    @eddyortiz8110 ปีที่แล้ว +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.😅❤

  • @Loiosh02
    @Loiosh02 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @audrameyer9558
    @audrameyer9558 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @arjaycolastre6855

    Finally... eelon is doing fine... thanks for this update...

  • @ronaldtreitner1460
    @ronaldtreitner1460 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @eekaspeeka5704
    @eekaspeeka5704 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

  • @icegypsy99
    @icegypsy99 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really great to see it eat. Always a worry with new fish. Especially something like that. I can imagine it was crazy expensive.

  • @EmEm78
    @EmEm78 ปีที่แล้ว

    He's adorable, like a long, legless axolotl! I want one.

  • @davidolsen3209

  • @catwhispurrer137
    @catwhispurrer137 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

  • @haylowalker1252
    @haylowalker1252 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    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.

  • @deedeewass3047
    @deedeewass3047 ปีที่แล้ว
