yes one suggestion...a close up picture of the eel...other than that perhaps some tall plants to block the heater from view perhaps

[fishlover9000]

here is the eel! (sorry it took so long to respond)
what other fish can go in with it?

[djrusselljoseph]

Love that eel!

Thats pretty cool man for sure, but I dont know much about eels, I think the girls in my house would shoot me if I had one...lol...I would assume anything it cant fit into its mouth would be okay, but your better off waiting for an experts opinion

ok, thanks.

he was in my community tank for a while.
he is not that aggresive since there is fish under 1" in there and he never touched them.

Oh alright, as I said I dont know anything about them...does he swim around much or just hide for the most part?

[fishlover9000]

YEA he swims around!

[Liquid_Pyro]

Thats so cool

Id get some TALL plants, maybe a couple 24" 3 or so 18" some mediums and smalls.

When they float at the top the fish seem to like it ALOT more, I think the cover is natural to them. If I was a fish id like alot of plants.

Look at the newer pics of my tank to see what im talking about.
