    i wouldn't regret it, as long as it were small. :D the only issue I really see is the jumping.

    if you want something random/exotic, why not start a seahorse tank?

    mantis is cool, i think you should just scratch the eel idea. if you want it to be water related, then the previously listed things are cool, but IMO a vivarium would be just as cool. read up on keeping chameleons.

    I'd say no to eel as well, 24" is not big for a 36" fish.
    Id say keep it fish related, just easier nd less expensive (had tree frog once) So I would say frogfish or dwarf lionfish or jawfish & c. argi rubble zone biotope

    the eel will not be that size in this tank..if i go with the frogs im gonna have to put more money than i want too..the reason i wanted to do something with this tank is because i already have everything besides maybe some pvc pipe and silicone..
