I'll pass on the JD. I guess there's a reason the fish was named after a boxer. I don't want to take the vid at this time (11pm). I'll get one to you tomorrow.
Sounds reasonable lol and ya JD named after notorious boxer I just went downstairs to switch my tank to its blue light for night and saw my JD chilling with the Angels in the fake plants was pretty weird not gonna lie

My pleco and featherfin decided against the plants. I went from 24 to 6.The Angels won't be the centerpiece. I just like their personality and would prefer them not to die. I feel that the parrot would be the centerpiece because od the color, or the bgk because of uniqueness and size.

Oh ya those guys would have munched on those plants like no tommorow
Oh that's what I did in my tank the arowana is obviously my center piece while the rest are also interesting too. But my set up is odd since the bp draws in attention and so does the JD and then people wonder why there are Angels in there as well. Sadly this great set up won't last as the arowana gets bigger hopefully it will still tolerate the others as it grows

Here's my JD rn love it's colors
And here are the bp and Angels I have other bp but they in my 60 gal for now I have 3 others with a female FH

I actually was wondering if u knew some neat bottom dwellers that could work with my set up cause I lack those. They would need to be able to survive the onslaught from above and co exist with my little Cories (lol this is the reason I can't seem to find any that work)

An eel with a small mouth. My first eel was a half banded spiny eel (ich also got him. That's why I have a peacock). Loved him to death. That little guy was only four inches, but he was always roaming the tank. I was surprised to see him doing this after the bp and featherfin were both 5", and the pleco at 6". Spiny eels only get 8", so they can't eat other fish. I also like my featherfin. It may not come out often, but it is fun to watch when it does. The fish may not be colorful, but I love the size of it's fins. My featherfin is 5" (as stated above) and it's dorsal fin is about in inch tall, along with it's tail fin.

Don't mind my hi-tech eel feeding device. I saw that it was featured in the first and second pictures.

I've always wanted an eel but it wouldn't work due to my tank mates and substrate but it's awesome that U got one.
