Before you derail the thread with a totally different topic, make sure your info is actually correct for the most part.
Needlenose fish aren't brackish, they "do not" need a 75, are perfectly well kept in a 55, even a 30 gallon for some time. I've never had a needlenose "eat itself to death." Nor have I seen any fish get to this point...
African butterflyfish- not brackish, and doesn't need acidic water. It's predatory, but at the same time, is a pretty small fish that sits behind the filter or a plant 97% of the day doing nothing. I doubt it could catch any of those fish if it tried.
The puffer, do you even know what type it is? Leave it at "not a community fish" and don't say brackish, if you don't even have a clue as to what species it is.
And they already stated the ghost shrimp were "food" for the eel.
Though, I really don't agree on the stocking...
The eel sounds like it "could" be used to it's surroundings. All in all, they're pretty odd fish to begin with...
