hey guys, just wondering about ur opinions on keeping a 30cm long finned eel in with my 20cm oscars and 16cm native barramundi..
the eel is native to papua new guinea and the northern end of australia, but can be found as low as tasmania. and as far east as new zealand where it goes to breed once and die. they can survive for 48 hours out of water, and are somewhat brackish, as it is male in saltwater and female in fresh, or vice versa.
they are a carnivore like my SA's but mainly live off bugs and roaches.
I won't be feeding any live fish, just kangaroo meat, which I feed my cichlids, and I doubt it will eat the pellets.
Is this an ok combination? also, would they be one of these "escape artists" meaning I should tighten security on my tank lids and remove any escape holes?
Thanx ...
Matt.
