Description
Peacock Eels hail from the slow-moving water systems across Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Growing up to 30cm in length, these unique eels are coveted by fish keepers for their curious personalities and their distinctive spots along their dorsal fins which look like feathers.
Peacock Eels are sociable with their own kind, providing the aquarium is large enough, they can be kept in a small group.
To help your Peacock Eel to thrive, consider the following;
1. Be sure that your aquarium lid is tight shut so that they cannot escape.
2. Provide a sandy substrate as they love to dig and bury themselves in the substrate. Coarse gravel may well injure them.
3. Provide hiding spots to help your Peacock Eel feel secure, introduce smooth rocks, dense vegetation and driftwood to achieve this.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Peacock Eels a combination of live and frozen foods including earthworms, bloodworm and brine shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
