eels/variety

fishstix · 04-09-2008, 07:20 PM

Im interested in adding an eel like fish to my aquarium and was wondering what to get. Im considering spiny eels, fire eels, mudpuppies, and sirens. I have a 3" Oscar cichlid, but if i add the fish while he is still small is should be ok right? Ive read that oscars can grow attached to the fish they grow up with. I also have 3 tiger barbs 2 gold fish and 4 suckerfish. any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Tank size?

You are overstocked already with the fish you have now. Don't add more.

(tank size is 55g....got that from another post)

If you get one i would suggest to begin with a pea**************** eel.

If i got rid of the plecos and oscar then would a tire track eel be too much?

Yes. A tiretrack will reach over 2 feet, too small for that tank.
