What's your dream Eel Tank - If Size didn't matter

[95harley]

So I've become obsessed....Thanks GotAggression and Cryptkeeper

Let's take a poll for the eel lovers on here.
If you could have only 1 tank (ANY size) and you could keep 1 or more of a single species of an eel what would it be.
Base your decesions on Looks, Activity, Wow factor, ability to handle (ie clean tank), etc.
Or list Other Species.

I smell a new project.... lol

I still would really like to see a green. I think it would be a fascinating tank to watch. They are so beautiful when big, and I absolutely love their eyes!

Dragon all the way!

 

[ponyta810]

dragon moray for me i think theyre gourgeous

 

[crimzy]

I had to go with the Tess.
Greens are cool because you rarely see them and they get so big. But they are a pretty inactive species after you get past the initial "wow" factor.
Dragons are awesome and beautiful. But something about a really nice Tess is very exotic. They are wild to watch, relatively active... and if you find one with a lot of white or really cool markings, there is nothing like them.
Do it Harley... Do it. Keep the Tess tank next to the dragon tank and see which gets more "oohs" and "aahs". See which you spend more time staring at. Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I vote for Tessalata Moray...
I love their color pattern...
If you do decide to do the Tessalata how big of tank you gonna do...lol

sweetness. I d love to come check it out and your other tanks one day!

I have kept many of the "dream" eels. These would be on my list..... T

 

[crypt keeper]

T. The third and Last picture. What are they named?

 

[95harley]

hmmmm, wonder how long I could keep one in my 240g?
LA DD has a looker right now 15". I'm afraid this may have to wait till my next house as I would want to sell my 240g (so I don't have to move it) and drop in a 500g tank in the new house 96x48x25.
That should do it for 1....hmmm, wonder if 2 Tessy's would work?

 

[gotaggressive?]

Hey man I am glad somebody is going to give it a try. You know my vote would be a tessy which is why I decided just to wait because I can't put one in my current tank. I think it would be awesome though! Definitely on my list just not on the top unfortunately.

Would you be getting rid of the fish you already have? (dragon and golden)
I would be sad to see the golden go. That is the best looking one I have ever seen.

 

[kjr_trig]

I would do a Japanese or Hawaiian Dragon, a Brazilian Dragon, and a Banana Eel....Would love a Tess or Kidako, or larger Eel, but a bit too aggressive for that group.

You know I couldn't get rid of my Dragon. Now I wonder if I could keep like 2-3 Dragon's in 1 tank. That might be just as cool as a Tessy and I could throw a Queen Angel and Sohal tang in for good measure.
Man this dream tank wishing is pretty cool. Rest assured I'll have a plan and the day I move it will be put in motion.
Thanks all, its good to dream...thanks for dreaming with me.

The last one is a Hook-Jaw Moray (Enchelycore bayeri).
I think the 3rd pic is a Berndeti Eel, but not 100%.
