    Starting a smaller tank with eels.

    Favrus.. max our at 2' but more commonly 18"... the smaller "tire track" distingusted by the pattern not fading out at the belly ( armatus the pale bellied tt gets as big as fire eels) . Otherwise any of the African lake spineys should do fine w/ your synos. elipsifer, and plagosi ( my...

    Not big on impulse purchases... buut.. been wanting one for years now.

    About 6"+... and np, a lot of people don't update to say eithr the fish died or they gto rid of it ect. regret getting rid of him but we've had to cut our tanks down to less then 1/2 these past few monthes. and another species tank for a 2' just isn't in the cards for us atm.

    ID?

    Some reason can't edit.. oh well.. But hes settled in and I think it's just a size/dymorpic difference as they actually are resting next to eachother now.. but oddly we had to remove the yo yo loach in the tank.. w/ similar patterning to these guys... he started attacking the new knife a few...

    Not big on impulse purchases... buut.. been wanting one for years now.

    I ended up selling this guy as he started getting very aggressive and we've been going a different route w/ our tanks. But during the few months we had him he was very hardy and ate very well for us ( live blackworms, and occasionally NLS thera A.) I would def get these guys again in the future...

    Why Do People Only Keep 1 Type Of Fish?

    Because you can't have just one... I am an oddball junky and I know I have an obsession... but I'm stearing away from the giants as having to take-down our big set-up has been heart breaking. Bigger the fish the more expensive to house... before kids we had a lot of fish of different species...

    140 Gallon for a gar for life?

    Yes, and they often do in the wild but only a handful reach 24" in captivity. the average tends to be closer to 18-20"

    140 Gallon for a gar for life?

    long as its not super narrow a florida gar would be happy imo w/ that size ect. I would do a trio and make it a species tank or at least only select 1-2 other tank-mates ( such as bichir) and call it a nice set-up day.

    Sickly?

    gill flukes come to mind or dissolved oxygen may be low. increasing flow may help. or he may still just be stressed. hard to say.

    Pure black melano betta rare?

    I use to think spending that kinda money on a betta was crazy... but now I know I'm crazay spending much more then that on other species that are a lot more expensive to also maintain and not even breedable in captivity ( as of yet at least!) >.< now.. when our cujo ( he's like 4-5yrs now)...

    ID?

    This lil' bugger is even more reclusive then our aba.. plan on redecorating in the next few weeks so hopefully get some nice pics of him then. I was wrong about the minnows... he hasn't even touched some endler hybrid males I'm currently keeping in the tank. so far only eats blackworms but...

    I want to get a smaller sized gar. Suggestions?

    I wouldn't keep any gar in that set-up.. imo.. floridas are to darn passive to stand up.. and anything else is going to eat/kill tank-mates or be killed by the Jar when it hits 12"+ haven't kept a shorty... but I was able to find Cubans and tropical before shortys..
