He's still going good. I have him in with clown loaches and rainbow fish now. Honestly I'm liking this tank a lot more than my old predator tanks. It kind of sucks having nothing but nocturnal fish like I had in the past.
No.. the eel in my avatar is my old 16" fire eel. I lost him about 4 years ago or so. He managed to move a couple 5 lbs weights off of the lid, came home to him dried out on the floor.
