The electric eel does not recognize its owner. Electric eels have very poor eyesight and can only rely on the continuous release of low amounts of voltage to identify directions and find prey. Therefore, they cannot recognize their owners. Electric eels cannot be kept in a mixed culture as they will hunt other fish.
Precautions for raising electric eels:
1. Pay attention to safety when raising electric eels. It is best to use chopsticks when feeding to avoid being injured by electric eels.
2. Electric eels need a darker water environment with a hiding place. You can put some aquatic plants, swamp wood, stones and sand in the fish tank.
3. Do not keep electric eels in mixed culture. Small fish will be preyed on by them, and fish of the same size will be injured by the discharge of electric eels.
