This guy is in a 20g for now .. but .. my intention has always been to move him into a bigger tank when the tank is ready. He's in there by himself and I think I would see more of him if he had other tankmates to create movement in there. Plus, having to have a cover on top of the small tank has resulted in brownout in the majority of my zoanthids (this was originally just my zoanthid tank). Soooo .. in hindsight I'm not sure I'm crazy about the small tank suggestion. I guess it's OK if it's setup just for the eel but trying to make a tank service two goals like this .. I dunno, it's a little disappointing seeing all the wonderful hues of reds, pinks, blue, greens, yellows, orange ...etc .. all turn into less wonderful hues of brown, more brown, or brownest.  |
What you don't love brown fugly zoos?!
What type of fish would you put in with your eel? Basically (if my boyfriend approves) I would plumb in a 40(ish)g (long) fully covered fowlr tank into my 90g sump into one of the pumps that runs one of our 2 230g tanks. I would use PC lights (I have 3 24" ones) to light it. I would also make a small mesh screen lid/cover for the tank. It would be set up for the eel, however if adding a few fish would help....Hummmm......
