Believe me, the eel HAS TO GO. If you will not believe that it needs brackish, then at least be aware that these eels grow to a little over 2 feet and therefore need at least a 150 gallon tank to be housed properly (which is a fact that can easily be researched).Snook000;4499279; said:this is waht my tank looks like right now. im getting rid of the cat and gar tuesday. im still researching the eel. the guy at the pet store said that it does better in brackish but it will do fine in fresh if i put in aquarium salt after every water change
Agreed.Chrisplosion;4499310; said:Aquarium Salt doesn't make it brackish, Sea Salt does I think.
That guy is just as misinformed as you are (no offense), I would definitely advise against taking any further advice from him. As Chris said, aquarium salt will not make the tank brackish, the only use for aquarium salt is disease treatment.Snook000;4499372; said:thats what i asked the guy he said as long as you dont have fish that are affected by salt everything will be fine and that aquarium salt raises the salt level a little
