Any Truly Fish Safe Eel for a 75g?

[Woodchuck12]

Wait! Not to get this thread off track, but it is possible to keep a zebra in a 75 gallon? The reason I ask is that I have a 90 and on liveaquaria, they say that they get 5' long.

It would be fine, they are not a real heavy bodied eel and although 5' is where they can max out but is more so with wild specimens.

So I would be fine with one in the tank for it's life?

Thanks, Charlie

You really should buy my 90 tank

No point in upgrading to another tank with the same footprint! I'll stick with this one for another year or 2 until I move out of this place. Then it's a 6' tank of some sort.

I'd go with the Richardsons moray.

The rarely get a 3 1/2' though.

I would disagree, my two are aggressive at feeding time, anything that moves is fair game to them. I could see them going after fish, and a firefish is perfect size for their mouths.

I'd go with the Richardsons moray.

Richardson's are fairly aggressive for there size and would limit any real small fish for the tank.

Just finished prepping the tank for the new addition.

Widened the screen tops a bit to make for a tighter fit:

Covered the overflow even though there is a screen on the drain:

Terrible iPhone photo but Eel Ready:

Skeletor eels are fairly well mannered, so I say this only because mine is He's just a baby though, only about 20cm So far he's very docile, except when you give him some food... Then like a cat with catnip, he frisks up

The zebra is waiting for me at Fedex! Can't wait to get out of this class! Damn you Law School!

 

[SkullV]

He's getting bolder!

Great looking zebra! I like your set-up too... Your new eel should be quite happy in there!

Looks good. Congratulations. Keep us updated on how this guy does. I have a similar set up and have wondered how a Zebra would do in a 75 with other fish as tankmates.
