sorry no idea about the pine trees but my advice would be not to put random stuff in your tank and if you do make sure you bleach it and clean it thoroughly. what type of aquascape are you going for? like a mini pine tree forest? that actually sounds pretty cool and i would love to see pics when...

thanks for the links, im almost positive my tank is fully cycled at this point, nitrates are at 40 ppm and ammonia is holding at 0. i also took a water sample into the local pet shop, they employ a marine biologist in their fish dept. and he has already given me a lot of solid advice. had him...

ah i didnt know that about the guppies, are they fin nippers? also i love the snail profile pic.

yah agreed, better safe than sorry.

im glad you brought that up as ive read a lot about that. how big were your eels when they jumped? ive ordered some 1/4 inch plastic marine/aquarium netting which i was either going to cut to cover the open spaces or just make a diy insert that completely covers the top. he seems like hes to...

im not incredibly experienced so dont take my word as law but yeah what your planning to put in seems fine. i dont know much about sword tails so you may want to double check on those but im under the impression they do well in a community tank.

make sure you properly cycle your tank before adding fish, i recently made the mistake of not cycling and lost quite a few fish. ive got a 29 gallon with a beta, a baby tire track eel, 1 angelfish, 4 khuli loaches, 1 molly and 2 little pitbull plecos. the beta pretty much gets along with...

thanks for info, the 29 gallon hes in now is regrettably fine gravel(i basically set the tank up as just a general fish tank and got the eel after) but the 90 ill have ready for him when his bigger will be sand. i was thinking of 2 inches of substrate but you think 3 is better? i was going with...

sry a bit eel crazy lately.

im basically in the same boat, im just not keeping anything too little in the tank, as of now he couldnt even come close to getting a corey in his mouth.

coreys may be food for your eel, i would go with a pleco but if you really like coreys they most likely will be fine. they will for sure be ok when the eel is small but as he grows ive no idea.

this not the proper place for this question or does everybody hate the new guy? :(

thanks for the feedback, ive not had an aquarium for a while and forgot how much i love the hobby. its easy to decide if you want an eel, if you want to be more hands on with your tank than an eel is great but if you more just want a tank to look at with minimal maintenance an eel may be a bit...

hes in a 29 gallon tank atm and when he gets big enough ill move him to a 90 gallon tank im setting up. ive heard a wide range of sizes a tire track needs ranging from 75 to 200 gallons. im sure the 90 will be fine for him and if your concerned that your 90 is too small for a tire track there...

im new to eel ownership so keep that in mind, ive done a ton of research in the past few weeks however. freshwater eels will do well with other fish their size, they may eat smaller fish that can fit in their mouth. ive got a couple angelfish in the same tank as my eel right now with no...

have you considered a freshwater eel? got a tire track eel a month ago and hes easily my favorite fish. i went from setting up a general community tank to tailoring my tank just for the eel. you said you were going with a sand substrate and eels LOVE to burrow in sand. so far my experience has...

just getting back into aquarium owning after years of not having one, im 36 now and the last aquarium i had is when i was 17. right off the bat i pulled the classic rookie mistake and did not cycle my tank, i had water in it for about 48 hours before i put some fish and my tire track eel in...
