lovely fire eel. very nice tank...i have a 21" fire eel, what size is yours?

 

[simonas]

I've got two in there. One I've had a good while is about 12 inches and theres one apal gave me before xmas who arely comes out and is darker in colouratin but he's a good 16 inches or so and his head which is all I generally see is bigger than the other.

I need to get a bigger tank soon so I can start splitting the fish off into two. I've been checking out 7 or 8 fts on aquarist ads but need something close to me and second hand cos I've been so skint after xmas

My plan is to sell 2 of the Clowns or give em to LFS keep the bigger one and he'll be the main fish in the large tank with probably one eel and Bichir 4 tinfoil barbs and maybe an L25 PLEC

In the existing tank would remain the three reed's one fire eel my other smaller plecs and some boesmani rainbows

we shall see!!

I'm also after a couple of smaller tanks as I want to keep a pair of ancistrus and a tank for pair of Brichardi. My other two tanks I have are my sons community and a tank I have which is dedicated to a still life scene!!lol my two toadfish that never move

well firstly, i love seeing tanks like this, full of oddballs instead of the usual suspects, and yes, get the biggest tank you can afford and can physically have in your house. over the years, my fiance and I have had many tanks scattered around the house, but i was more into my then tank, a 4ft one of mixed cichlids and oddballs, i then went and had a custom tank made, a 6x2.3x2.5 (not far off a 1000ltrs), even though it is a monster in the house because you also have to take into account the unit, which is alomst the same size, then on top of that, the hood, so when you have it all set up, you walk into the room and feel you walked into some aquatic place, it looks out of place, it looks too big but i wouldnt have it any other way, it is great! you just need to make sure if your floor can take the weight, my tank's footprints is over 1.1tonns, but i have solid floors.

it will also take a bit of time to get it up to your spec, decor wise, but once it is up and running, you will love it, so good luck in finding that monster tank!

how large can rope fish get?

 

[simonas]

not sure .mine are between 12 and 15 inch I thin. Impossible to measure

maybe a bit longer I would suppose but they are very slender and bendy and don't take up much space... infact they are hardly noticeable as just always slinkking about
