Can't believe this, but that makes me want an eel. Not happening until I get a second tank though...

I know! But nowadays eels like the peecock eel make it possible for people with community tanks to get them. Instead of species or aggressive only tanks, Like in saltwater most of the eels get big and eat fish. The peecock stays small and has an even smaller mouth. Plus it's easy hardy fish!!!

What a jerk.


You could try to take the bumble bee out for a few hours and return him to the tank?

I put my tang with some kribs and they were pretty brutal. Which is kinda weird cause tangs come from the same lakes in Africa, but I've got him growing out in a 10g at the moment.

You have to keep up on cleaning UGF's. They will actually make your nitrates go crazy if you don't.
