Updated vid (not the greatest quality with my camera phone) but wanted to showcase the new fire eel i've recently picked up and a few of the other inhabitants

Nice looking puffer, it has some great looking markings. Fire eel looks a bit stressed. You got a spare rubber sucker in there!

yeah i keep meaning to get that out! fire eel only in there a week and when he ventures out he does do that with his mouth all the time but don't think it's stress, it's almost like he's sniffing or something!?!

mbu puffer doesn't even seem to realise other fish exist! he's always either danced for food or spent the rest of the time staring at his own reflection!
 
Some MBUs can do v. well in some community tanks. Its a bit hit and miss with them... looks like you got a social one!
 
is there a tire track eel in there too? how fast is the growth rate on them fire eels? i would love to own one but all the ones avail are like 4". i'd grow one out but only if it would get big fast enough to add him within a reasonable time.
 
No tire track, you may have mistaken a fleeting appearance by one of my polys was one maybe, got 3 senegals, a del, a congicus, an ornate and 2 endli endli's.

not sure about the growth rate as got my guy for equivalent of about 45 bucks at this size. he loves his worms though but think you'd have to him on his own when small to make sure he got fed as they pretty much need hand feedimg in a community tank
