he is about 17 inches and thats what every tells me but my other eels keep him in check. i think if he was alone maybe. but this tank is a eel tank. i just raise the sharks in them cause its well established tank and bigger guys might eat the little ones in the big tank which is actually at another locatoin. i have a video of it somewhere on my computer. if i can find it ill get it on youtube and post it on here for you guys.

He's still young than. They get more aggressive as they grow but hopefully yours stays mellow. I hope you find the vid! I'd love to see it!

very cool tank looks really nice and the blue dot looks really happy and healthy.

how long have you had the blue dot? also too how old is the blue dot? and how did it go with getting him to eat at first? i have heard numerous folks not having a whole lot of luck with the blue dotteds and that the diamond shaped one does better than the other one.

Very nice sharks guys!
Joon, do the sharks bother or try to eat the shrimps and crabs?
