People are telling me to get 2x stingrays and discuss.. Maybe you should try it out? add some outher small colorful fish.. might be fun

Fire eels are awesome!! yeah i think you should get the eel rather than the dat. I dont know how a black shark would do in a tank thats only 4 feet long though. Black sharks can grow 3 feet long...

they only get to 2ft in captivity im def gonna get that eel.

Id steer clear of black sharks, they can be really aggresive. An can an will "whittle" away at even big fish until they die.

Fire eel is a good choice, Im trying to find one for my 120. You might wanna consider tinfoil barbs, bala sharks (for schooling fish), Plecos, african butterfly fish, synodontis cats.

One thing you should Def have if you get a fire eel is a really tight fitting lid. most eels are like Houdini an find ways out of any loose area.
