The tank is 600liters(160gal), 180cm (6ft) long. This is a fire eel. I uploaded a video of her own here. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278424

Most of the roots are water lettuce. There is also some water hyacinth and salvinia in there. The lettuce is fairly easy to grow. As long as you have sufficient light it will grow and multiply. You know it is considered a pest in some regions. I use 6 36W tubes for light. You will need at least 10cm between your lights(lid) and the water surface. Water lettuce can grow really big, but I only keep young plants and bin the old ones. If you don't want the roots, but only look to darken your tank, salvinia is a better choice. The water hyacinth is not really an aquarium plant, so I won't talk about it.

There is a guy in Bulgaria who imports fish from Holland. I'm not sure about their origins, but I specifically asked him to pick my delhezi with as many stripes as possible. He did a good job :D

yeah he did they look awesome most captive bred delhezis here in the states barely have any stripes (mainly just spot like half stripes) and a weird greenish body color:( needless to say im trying to find some good wild caught ones lol

I need an advice. I'd like to add a school of fish in my tank. Something non aggressive to swim in the upper levels, and big enough to survive the jaguar. I was thinking Barbus schwanefeldi, but I can't find any. Maybe rainbows? My jag is pretty timid lately. Since he grew over a foot, he's eating only half of what he used to. To you think I stand a chance with the rainbows? What other spicies would you recomend.
