    Maybe it’s mum scaled its silversides before she fed her kiddos

        Nice Danny, I had a group of those at one time. They are a fun group of fish to have.

          Thanks Pat. Interesting how they function as a “jostling” group, lots of pushing & territorial behavior, but still have a semblance of harmony

                Made the trip to Columbus on Tuesday to pick up the AUL, bala sharks & somehow clown loaches.
                Spent the day yesterday moving everything around. Very happy with how the big tank turned out. IMO the perfect balance of slothful like species with more active species with each of the levels in the water column occupied except the very surface.
                The official measurement of the AUL is 27.5”. The eel is 25”.

                  Awesome update Danny! I still can't get over how absolutely massive that fire eel is.

                    The fish choice is not for me, but that is a beautiful tank.

                          Thanks Jacob, Gary, Chuck and Pat! It’s a very different set up for me. So far the AUL is much more active than o expected. Slow moving, but not just the stationary log I thought it would be, so that’s pretty cool.
                          O do have a track record of becoming weary & bored fairly quickly so hopefully the variety will keep me interested long term. At least I can change out the dither group/s periodically for change
