Caecilians?
Written by scottology on June 5, 2010 – 3:16 pm -I have a large caecilian in my aquarium and I absolutely love him. He is thriving! Anyone else have one? What sorts of treats do you feed him? Mines favorite is earthworms. Its amazing to see him hunt the worm down and swallow it whole. Any interesting facts about them that I may not have found in my research? I know that they are not fish, before someone puts their claws out. They are amphibians. I just put this under fish because they are for your aquarium.
We have had him for close to a year. When we bought him he was around 5 inches long. He is now going on 20 inches and is as big around as your thumb.

Caecilians Feeding
Written by scottology on May 30, 2010 – 5:58 pm -Feeding my caecilians. There are about 12 adults and maybe the same number of babies in there. At least 2 different species, maybe 3. Typhlonectes sp, possibly natans and compressicauda… Some came in as a Potomotyphlus sp. They eat koi sticks and trout pellets, and just started breeding.. yahoo! The biggest females are about 30″ long!
