Currently i'm passion in moray eel mode especially Honeycomb eel aka tessalata eel cause they are active swimmer (a part of time hide) not like most of eel charactor like to hide in the cave. Just received special order 4 nos of Honeycomb eels from Sri lanka arrived on last 2 weeks.

Thanks for your concern. Most of my fish is growing from juv till now fully adult in this tank. They all healthy and long time with me. In the video's you saw them like jam beside cause they saw me in infront tank take shot. After i left they swim around and they (eel and fishes) never bother each orther at all, off course after few years the eel bigger sure need bigger room to house all of them. The video show all eel swim actively is looking for food on feeding moment. They half of the time love hide in thier cave so there still hv plenty of room to keep my giant fish in this 6ft tank. In future plan to build new tank at size of 12x3x2.5(H) to keep my 4 honeycomb eel which can grow to 5.9ft maximum lenght.

Very nice to watch your tank.

You are not a newbie at all. Looking at your tangs and angels, most of them are very large. That means you have kept it for a long time and the qt tank you have.

Please keep postings and share your experience in the forum.

Impressive tank and fishes. Wouldn't the eels attack the fishes??

Thanks!

We always have to be caution when eel with tankmate & observe eel behaviour from time to time.

We always thought eel will eat fish but currently I have a experience that a 4"juv regal dare to pick eel till serious injure and cause of that I have to act prompt to jail the juv regal. Unbelievable!

Currently my eel hv been with my fishes for a month so far didn't see them try to hunt any fish only when feeding moment I use feeding tong feed them they will swim around smell the seafood Iocation.

I love the combination of eel with tankmate, off course if I saw fish injure or bite by eel I will transfer all fish to another tank.

Indeed impressive!! Share your maintenance regime?

Thanks! Bro.

Currently I have 3 linked tank (6ft +4ft+4ft) with total of 2000litre (500Gallons) water capacity very 3 weeks water change 30-40%.

I am using beckett skimmer and O3 so every weeks have to up essential element and weekly top up KH powder to keep PH between 8.o to 8.2. Daily feeding pellets soak with Zoe (Vitamins) + Zoecon (Omega) to keep all fishes healthy and growing.

Due to heavy feeding daily wash filter bag & 3 day change the top layer of filter cotton.

The above is the maintenance routine I have been apply many years.

Happy reefing! Cheers!

Thanks.Bro.

My current tank setup on 2009. Before i in passion with honeycomb eel previous this tank keeping big angel, multi type tangs/surgeon and butterfly as well. Until i decided to add in honeycomb eel then i starter to sell off 60% fishes so currently the big blue ring, map angel is the longer with me since 2009 then going by Vlamingii tang, Spotted Unicorn Tang and etc more then 1-2 year.

The 4pcs honeycomb eel is new incomer temporary observed they didnt bother orther tankmats but still in caution. They are awesome especially when they swim around with thier stunning body texture. But thier appetite very good able to eat total of 30pcs 4"Ikan Bilis lucky my beckett skimmer still able to support on high bioload. The most attracted is eel desease resistant and able live at captive more than 20 years.

Happy Reefing! Cheers!

Hii wanna ask where u got ur eel for what price. Any chance that place sells smaller ones?

Anyway. Batfish looks really cramped. Haha

I order my eels from KL aquatic. I must said they provided very good service really helpful even i'm just a hobbyist. The price range for eels is depend on size from SGD150 - SGD300. I consider this is a good deal as we not in bulk order. Ya! my tank is 6ft but narrow. I wonder why i didnt feed much the batfish but he till growing bigger. LOL

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
