What can you really keep with a Tesselata eel?

[Lord Voldemort]

What fish can you keep with a FULL GROWN tesselata eel. Sharks? Rays? Groupers?
AND who here keeps tesselata eels and what tankmates, size, and other info on the tank?

 

[raw88gt]

i doubt anyone has a tank big enough for a full grown tess.

I've got about a 3 foot tessalata and now that all 12 of my chromis have disappeared, the tess is eating squid, shrimp and mussels and I haven't seen any more fish disappear even though there are a couple which are small enough for the eel to eat.

mine is 4-5ft and is a serial killer
only thing safe with them (or at least affordable) are damsels
and cleaner shrimps
shes going into a 400 with a grouper next month and thats still kinda small imo
my tess used to live with another 4ft green moray till i separated them
they are both serial killer btw
the last thing my tessa killed was a 14" Imperator
the last thing my green eel killed was a 10" garibaldi
no fish is happy with either in a tank
they are like impending death...

I feed them Mackerel, sardines & chovies

Has anyone been successful with sharks or rays?

The tess would kill the shark or ray. What size tank are you planning on putting one in.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Not any time in the near future. Most likely in the summer. I plan on having a 10x3x2ft tank. 450 gallons. Yes you guys will say I don't have enough experience but here's the stocking list I want (in order) some eels and a pair of brownbanded bamboo sharks.

cough cough bull....

Ill believe it when i see it:rolleye1:

 

[Lord Voldemort]

OK fine with me. And key word is PLAN.

 

[syndrome]

That tank will still be little to small for a tess

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Ok. Seems like a tesse isn't the most adequete fish to keep. It still looks awesome. Just grows too big.

 

[civicss1]

nts do you have any pics of your tess...?? just wondering ....i have a brownbanded shark in a 120 ..but i am in the process of building a shark lagoon ....it should be big enough for a number of sharks...i want at least 5 in there....

Yea still on the small side. A 15'x4'x31'' would house one. Not really a fish to keep with em. Maybe some small superfast fish but still would get em in the end. Look into a diff type like a zebra moray. Or a pair of golden tails would be cool.
