I like your tank! I hope my scats get that big too! I have 5 scats...2 silver, 2 green, and 1 ruby. I also have 2 Argentinus Monos as well....and 2 orange chromides, and a Knight Goby. Mine are all just little fellas....but have grown since I have set up the tank....They are all reaching the 4" mark now.

Looks like you have 4 catsharks in the pics.Did you recently loose one?What are the demensions of your tank if you don't mind me asking as I am trying to guess on the size of those fish.
I love the tank by the way.I have a school of catsharks in my 135 nad looking to add some scats soon.How is the personality of the eels?Do they take nips out of your other fish?
Oh yeah, for got to ask what salinity are you keeping the tank at?

Sorry, been away for a bit. The size of the tank is 72"X13"X18". It is considered an 80gallon-long. During that picture I did have all 4 sharks, they were about 11-13". At that size I could easily tell the difference between the female and male cats.
The eels are "smart" fish. They learn their environment quickly and their tank mates. They do NOT take bites out of fish too large to consume, they are not nibblers. The gobble their food whole, think of a snake that will also crush it's food while it's going down.
I keep the salinity HIGH for a brackish tank, but they seem to appreciate it when it's on the highers spectrum. The max I have gone is 1.020, but usually keep it at 1.016. All of the fish were hardy too! If they were ill, I'd do a water change and would drop the salinity in a few hours time and they'd do well!
But alas, they all died! I recently tried to breed the eels, since I had a minor success story. So I purchased about 5. Well, one of the eels apparently died in one of the ornaments. I only noticed cloudy water and distressed fish on a Thursday before I had to leave out of town. So I did a water change, boosted the salinity and increased the O2, only to come back on Monday to find ALL dead fish!
My 125g brackish currently houses some of these fish. I got a columbian shark, and a scat but there both no where near the size of these guys. Also 5 mono's, 2 chromides, a figure 8 and an archer.. but my salinity is currently at low to 0. I've been adding 1tsp per gallon. How many tsp's per gallon are you adding to reach your desired salinity levels?
