new fish, anyone want to guess?

It looks a lot cooler than I thought, i never saw an eel before. I don't really ever seeing myself getting one, i think it would creep me out too much, too much like a snake

 

wwwooahah!!!! thats awsome, i want one of those, they look really nice!

 

Really nice! and very colorful but an eel is a fish predator..I don't really know about that one, must of them have a good appetite.

 

Thanks guys, will post more pics soon.

its alot but at this point its a drop in the bucket. this hobby is sooo $$$$$$

 

yeah these are supposedly the only 'safe' eels. So far he's come face to face with my smallest fish, the flaming prawn goby. He bumped the goby with his mouth and then ran into hiding lol. This guy is tiny and still a juvenile so I think as long as I keep him well fed and he gets used to his tank mates it should be ok. im hoping anyway.

 

Trust me Luna, some day when feel confident enough about yourself and your tank, you will.

Always kind of surprises when I see people spent literally thousands on their systems, then fret about investing in a really cool/exotic lifeform to go in it.

Seems most interested in quantity instead of quality.

They stock their tanks with all kinds of run of the mill fish (and usually too many) then have no space later on for a really beautiful and unique specimen.

True...is always a gamble and there is always risk of loss down the road...but you will in turn get full value for your $ while having the opportunity to live and share its life with you, for whatever time fate allows.

I would never recommend anyone buying "expensive" livestock until after 1st year or so (and after family finances over shock of initial tank setup investment)...

In sad event, which there will be, of a fish loss in future...and there is some room in your tank...there are plenty of really rare and beautiful marine animals sitting out there in holding pens needing a home.

Enough preaching...am sure you know what I am trying to say...
