[reef_dart21]

o and the reason id like to get it is, is because its only 10$ because of a newyears sale so plz say yes

 

[redman1221]

I would not do it but thats just Imo, but you never know I just would not take that chance, good luck.

how big is the tank you are planning on putting it into?
i would say no if there are small fish.

 

[reef_dart21]

55 gallon with lots of lr and ls

Just speaking from personal experience any fish that might possibly fit in an eels mouth, will end up there. Eels are nocturnal (sp) hunters, so its very easy for them to sneak up on a fish when they are sleeping.
Secondly, the only stupid question is one you don't ask. Yeah the sayings old, but better to know before you get the eel.

i guess i just thought it looked awsome and was a pretty cheap one

 

[tome]

Oh believe me, I know it can be tempting. But you want to do whats best for your tank.

i agree with you i just noticed aggresive fish are better looking than non agressive alot of times

 

[tome]

Yeah that can happen, but there are also some nice looking non aggressive fish.

 

[reef_dart21]

for like 300 gallon sized tank

small fish would be eaten in short order
