how long would one last in a 55gal? i had one before but it choked to death after a week...i now have tsns in the 180gal so till i finish my big tank in a few yr i would like it to be in my 55gal....

i would say until you decide to put it in the 180, but that tsn is going to outgrow the fire eel no matter what, your best bet is to find a 20something incher to put in the 180.

the cats would be in the other tank when it is finished...the cats tank is going to be 10'x5-10'x3' then the 180 will be open to do what i want with it...i would do the 20"er but i like to see them grow from a baby unless i saved one then that would be diff.

it grows a inch every month.

so by this method i would have like 1-2 yr to finish my other tank so i could put it in the 180 if the eel was 5-6" apon pirchuse correct
