I just converted my 55 fish and invert system into a 30 gal. reef and I'm now using the 55 as a kind of mini aggressive tank(future upgrade)
I've got what I hope is an eel heaven in there, small as it is, so are the eels(currently)
There are tons of hiding places in there, all perfected for their current and future size. Plus extremely dependable filtration, and the lights are standard, so they aren't too bright for the eels.
Anyways, back to the subject. I have two eels in the tank, one(an 8 inch zebra moray) I got on Christmas Eve, a few weeks after my second eels tragic demise(the first I brought back to the store and sold to a guy who had a huge tank, I was still a newbie and worried for the eel's well-being)
and the other eel, a 12 inch snowflake moray that I got the day before New Year's Eve.
This new snowflake is already great friends with the zebra, they are now always in the same hiding spot peering their heads out side by side(they were in the shop together also).
Tonight, though, when i turned off all of the lights in the house, except the tv, I went over to look at the tank, wondering if maybe the eels were out and about. I looked and could see nothing in the dim light and then something small and dark, the eel's head, moved right at my face, not territorially, but seemingly saying hi, then it slowly rose up to meet my gaze and back down, then it slowly swam around the tank, showing off. It looked like the zebra but bigger, I then realized the snowflakes on the eel only made it look like it had stripes in the dark. It was probably the most spectacular sight I've seen when it comes to fish, even though my scooter blenny can put on an amazing show when he wants me to feed him.
Anybody else seen an amazing fish show in one of your tanks?
