Let Me Know what you guys think

I think you're horribly, horribly overstocked. I would return the eel, trigger, and dragonet (if it's not eating prepared foods) promptly.

 

[criccio]

I agree with gvibes. I hope the new larger tank will be ready very soon with a lot of seasoned rock/plants to support the mandarin. I also hope you have a large sump/skimmer to support the eel and trigger as they will create a huge bioload in that small of a tank.

Patience is the key in this hobby and I think you're moving way to fast.

The dragonet is about 1'' and a half and the eel lives and is very happy and eats like a machine... the trigger i just got from hans....is about 3 inch and yes i know i need a tank soon... i am actually sellin my pirhana in my 75 gallon in the wall tank in the base ment and then that will house thw Eel and Trigger soo very soon like 1-2 months...

 

[DSMawd21]

Both the eel and trigger eat frozen shrimp, also the trigger eats pellet brine shrimp...

My plans are when the trigger and eel go downstairs...i want to get a set of rods perc..(onyx perc) and get rid of the damsels...and then focus on corals...and ZOAS lol!

 

[MBasile]

[DSMawd21]

Nope he is very well behaved...
