OMG, a hystrix get to a 14-16inch diameter, and that wouldnt be able to even turn arround, nevermind the eel and 15 discus!!!!!!!!!!

How long has happymudskipper had that tank? The fish won't survive so don't take this to be a 'success' story to justify your own tank. Most of those fish should live a good 10 years - absolutely no chance that'll happen in that tank.
