absolutely! You need to get fish that are MUCH larger than the eels mouth for them to stand a chance. Just do a search. You will find people's tanks wiped out by their tesse eel's appetite. Unless you really, really love this fish, I would probably pass on it and do other cool big fish for the 300.

Second that. Try a zebra or a goldentail or a banana or a golden all really nice looking and less agressive towards fish any eel that has a sharp nose and teeth like daggers doesn't work well with fish look for a round head they like inverts.

well thanks for the ideas...but if i was to setup a one fish only tesselata aquarium what do you think would be the smallest aquarium possible for one of these (i heard somewhere that docholiday kept a zebra, dragon antd tesselata in a 60 untill he upgraded)...well would about a 50-75 work for one of these???smaller?bigger??? Thanks for your time
