your columbians look more like channel cats. But i am sure they are not. Tanks looks great. I would get some color in there etheir with fish or decor.

I'll give you some credit for the shoal of Shark Catfish going there. :D
What do you feed these guys, especially the Moray?

ooo A moray! very nice tank..
and BIGgourami (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/member.php?u=16464) how can you say brackish is DRAB? It's has some pretty nice fish for it. archers? Puffer? and lets not forget the Rays! .
If you just add some mangroves and some live plants the tank will look much much better.

nice tank. it might look better with a few more rocks/plants though... it would also give you beast of an eel some where to hide.
how big is that sucker? its a beast:headbang2
whats your SG? i had a G.Tile a while ago. had it in 1.012 and it was fine. then suddenly stoped eating and died... was gutted. still... learn from your mistakes:)

SG .016 that's why there are no plants, the plan is to eventually go full marine and try to add some different fish.Not sure what yet? I guess the G tile to be about 2 feet. Will eventually add some live rock.

oops... i ment fake ones :)
cool. im trying to do the same sort of thing with my GSP. ive seen a 6 line wrasse and i want it... i might try the G. tile again as i get to 1.018+
im at 1.016 now, and might be able to get some live rock cheap from a mature tank in a few weeks. £6 per kilo with all the hard work done for me, bargin :headbang2if the seller still has some that is...

How did you get the eel to eat pellets, I had one for almost 6 years and it wouldn't accept anything that wasn't live or frozen

About one year they don't grow that quickly it seems.
