Nope, I sold all of my fish except for the Ornate, 3 Endli bichirs and an Irwini Catfish. My bioload had gotten a little high.
I'm hoping to pick up a fire eel to add in with these guys, with the exception of a few dither fish this should be my tank for the foreseeable future.
An excellent companion in the fire eel, but what I said about ornate needing a place to hide goes doubly so for the eel of fire. I went through 3 eels before I got one that stuck with me. Eels just need to hide, they love to burrow after all. When I got my little fire eel, he hid from me for a good week or 2. Wonderful fish, but the pickiest eater of all my fish, only accepts blood worms when small, and graduates to nightcrawlers and chunks of prawn. Once the fire eel acclimated to its new environment and my ugly mug, he was out and about regularly, but if care is not taken early, you will lose them at the drop of a hat.
Now 2 years later he is pretty big, more than a foot long, and getting very thick (possible female?) Always greets me to be fed and not at all shy. Even pokes his nose above the waters surface to see if I am holding his favorite snacks.
I plan to start injecting the shrimp chunks with blood parrot red enhancing pellets, want to really color him up.
