im not a fan of green wolf eels. they are very agressive. i had one he did not play nice with my waspfish. the fuzzy lion woudl intimidate him so he would not try the lion.
i have a ghost ribbon that is awsome. and its a true eel. not a dottyback(like the wolf "eel" is)
i really like that tank. it looks really cool. i like how you dont have it super crowded being a taller tank vs wide

I'd avoid snowflakes, nice while they're small but once they get bigger they tend to be aggressive. I haven't had any problems personally but Greg as mentioned it a few times and I've read a couple other places about them taking chunks out. Just watching mine feed I can see how it could "accidentally" nab one of the other fish.
Fuzzies are a ton of fun I really enjoy mine.

Things With Stings R Us!
Our P. antennata is anything but shy, and engages in an "odd" display behavior (flared gills, partially extended mouth), but it really doesn't seem to be a warning as much as it is a greeting. It will even "call" Renee by making a clicking sound if it sees her at one of the other tanks (I'm guessing it clicks its pharyngeal teeth, but who knows?).
If you like P. antennata, I'd actually suggest P. mombassae, as IME, they're more of an "out front" fish more of the time. In fact, most of the time these two fish are often confused with each other.

Well, I have done tons and tons of looking and calling. The only eels ANY stores within 50 mi of here have, are Snowflakes. And all of them looked at their ordering lists (pretty much since right after I started this thread I have had them checking) Most of the online places I have even looked at only have Snowflakes in my size range.
Would it be so bad to have a snowflake since that's all that seems to be available?

Ok. 
The lid on that tank covers the whole thing. Just need to get some clamps or something so it stays tight.
MY fuzzy did not come in friday like they said. Ordered one through another guy. He is putting in the new order in the morning Monday and may have it as early as mon. afternoon, or it will be Tues. He picks it up from the airport himself instead of waiting for fedex or ups to bring it. Soon as he is here and settled I promise pics.
