Wow very entertaining thread for all the wrong reasons.
Oh and did this tank get photo if the month? Haha j/k
But seriously, people may be flaming you but they are trying to help. And you keep referring to a guy at the fish store saying he would not lie to you. That may be the case, but still does not mean his advice is correct.

No no no no no. That logic makes no sense whatsoever.
i.e. many people here who keep planted tanks dip the plants in a water-bleach solution for a few minutes to kill off any nasty hitchhikers. The plants usually survive it... but just because they can go in bleach solutions, does that mean they can live in bleach solutions? No.
Mudskippers (most of which are brackish, just like YOUR eel), can venture onto land. But just because they can go on land does that mean they can live on land permanently? No.
Betas have a labyrinth that they use to breathe air. So just because they can breathe air, does that mean you can completely remove them from water and expect them to survive? No.
Manatees can be in both salt, brackish, and fresh water. But you know what happens if you keep it in salt or brackish for too long? It dies, because it can only drink fresh water.
The truth is you really don't know anything about the biology of your eel and are just making assumptions about its needs. Get rid of that eel. And tell your dad that we're sorry if our intelligence offends him. It comes naturally to most people on this forum.
This is off topic but I just have a quick question. Mudskippers have interested me for awhile but I have never looked into them so I am quite ignorant of them. What you said implies that there is more than one species of mudskipper? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just curious how many species there are and if there are any that are entirely freshwater?
I have to agree. It's kind of funny how it's always the stupid people who think others are "just trying to sound smart".Younglin;4671021; said:
That is an extremely ignorant assumption to make. If you're going to base your stocking on idiotic statements like that, then go ahead and throw a few Nemo fishes in there, too while you're at it.
