New 36 gallon bow front.

It's got the vibrant colors that I like and it basically pops out at you. More blue then orange. Which is what I like. What HOB would you recommend for fish only?

I was also thinking about a dwark lion but I'm going to think and guess that would not be a good choice at all and if I can it will be that very last fish to go in the tank.

 

[jay0705]

Agreed.

 

[36 gallon salt water]

I'm also dying to get my hands on a snowflake eel. Also being the last one to go in would this be a good idea?

 

[jay0705]

No!!!! Lol there escape artists. Plus not totally fish safe.

 

[36 gallon salt water]

Well that answers that question lolol. That was def resounding. I think I heard you over here. Lmao. Jk. Ok so no eel. But I can do the dwarf lion as long as last fish in? Or not a good idea either?

 

[jay0705]

I love me some dwarf lions lol. Your thread is so long i can't remember your stock list besides the angel. The lion is fine with anything it can't eat. I have mine with a maroon clown, saddle puffer and yellow tail damsel

 

[36 gallon salt water]

I'm gonna go with two clowns a dwarf puffer (saddle valentini) a coral beauty dwark angel and the dwark lion. And maybe... a flame hawk. And that's it.

Yea now that we have traded info and ideas we are now using this is a normal convo thread lol

I love snowflake eels. I don't think they are much of a threat to fish. Not their normal diet. They are escape artists though. I've had 3 over the years all met the same fate, got out of the tank.

 

[jay0705]

This is what sucks with. Idk how you keep them in. The smallest hole they can get out.

 

[jay0705]

I like the zebra myself. Supp to be safe with most stuff. Still escapee artist's tho

 

[36 gallon salt water]

Yea it was either one of those eels. I planned on jawing plexi to block the open spaces that they could get out of

 

[lmforbis]

Zebras get pretty big though.

 

[36 gallon salt water]

I think that's why I chose against. I was looking at the dragon eel also. Wicked looking eel. Same size as the snowflake. But cooler IMHO

 

[jay0705]

Yea zebras get bigger. Supposedly anything from a 125 up is fine bc of there habits i guess. Still wouldn't want to find one on the floor lol

 

[one-fish]

Had a Snowflake years ago, came home one evening found him on the floor all shriveled up ran over to him picked him up, he moved so I dumped him back in, he swam back down to his cave........I got lucky

 

[jay0705]

They can last longer then fish. Lol

 

[36 gallon salt water]

Still wouldn't want a 5 foot eel in my house lol. Wife is already freaked because it looks enough like a snake lol

 

[36 gallon salt water]

Hey question on equipment. Would a UV sterilizer be a good idea?

 

[lmforbis]

I don't think they are very useful.
