Hey folks, long time no post. Got a question and this seems the best place to do so. I've been running my aggressive tank now for maybe 3 months, and traded it all in towards my tessalata eel. She's great, been in the tank for three days and has even begun eating. YAAAY!

Problem now is, I have maybe eight various damsels in there, too small to be of much concern so far and I'm wondering what else to add for future friends. Stingrays? Sharks? Other eels? What do you all think?


Thanks again everyone

rays, some sharks, more eels, big grouper-ish fish are the usual choices.
how big is this tank? and where are the pics?
 
There so many fish you can add with the tessalata. The eel wont attack the damsels they have poor eyesite and are not fast enought to catch fish in my experience but they love silversides. With my tessalata i have a niger trigger, clown trigger and lion. They are all doing well together however im going to need a much bigger tank soon.
 
She's in an 80 gallon at the moment, working out the logistics for a bigger tank. The one I have now I'm trying to turn into the filtration for the larger system. She's just over a foot long. As soon as I get back to my computer I'll attach some pics.
 
I had in the tank pre-eel, a Black lionfish, porcupine puffer, Humu Trigger, Lunare wrasse, Snowflake eel... I think that's it.

It was way too many fish in the tank and my Humu was being beaten up pretty badly. They were all very juvenile and perfectly bite sized hence the mass migration. Right now I'm planning for the large tank.
 
she's a beauty she is...

what kind of large were you considering? 125? 180? 300? etc..
 
I'm thinking 100-250 for now. At least 100 to give her more move room and to add on the necessary filtration. In the end of course... well I'm planing 500-1000 for full size. Or that is until funds run out.
