Too many fish?

[bencansdale]

Yeah I'm currently in san diego on vacation when I get back to buffalo at the end of the week I'll be parting was with the ram, bala's, and the frog.

I'd like too keep the tire track til he grows a bit he's prly about 5 or 6 inches right now is a 55 still too small?

Unfortunately, Fire Eels along with Tire Tracks are among the biggest of spiny eels... fire eels can grow up to about 4' long and be as thick as a persons arm..

So in reality, people will tell you the absolute min. for a fire eel would be about 200G+

Heres a video to show you just how big a beast they can be...

I don't think its overstocked right now. A lot of those fish spend most of the time on the bottom. Its going to be a while before those eels get any where near to big. You got plenty of time to enjoy all those fish before you decide to get rid of some. Keep your tank covered good as eels are great escape artist!

Holey cow that's a lot of fish. You are gong to have majour problems, you are very overstocked. What I would do is google all your fish and see if what you want to keep and see if they are compatable and the size they get to. Then post here and we will let you know. We are here to help. But yes, absolutley you are going to have problems, you have to seperate some of them too. They are not compatable. Some will even outgrow that tank. You could decided which to keep and bring them back or sell them.

Well rather than just telling me they need different conditions which one of my friends specifically need different conditions?

And keep in mind their all juveniles .. everyones basically between 2 and 5 inches (not including the eels) biggest being my geo jurupari with the one exception of the elephant nose who's about 7 inches if you include his fun little trunk nose do-dad
