New aquarium thoughts

[fadetoblack06]

So I was thinking of setting up my tank that I have now with mollies and tetras and hatchet fish and three rainbows to a tank with a fire eel and some puffer fish. I also have a high fin pleco and a royal pleco too. I have sand on the bottom, changed that over last wednesday and all is stable now in the tank. would the plecos and fire eel and the puffers all get a long together?

Well it depends...how big is the tank? Puffers are super aggressive...they like to fin nip. Also, some puffers require brackish water. I've never heard of a fire eel. Rainbows need to be kept in schools of six.

^ fire eel, is similar to the tier track or peacock eel. It's a fresh water species. Red and black in color. Very cool fish but grows enormous!

It is a 55 gallon tank, here is a link to the fire eel, Fire Eel at PETCO

Fire eel...everything I have read say they grow thirty inches long!!! You sure? Peacock eels are more peaceful too....what kind of rainbows? They like to be in schools
