nate21887 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Good luck, that's gonna be a tough search. Not sure about the eel but most aren't considered reef safe, not only will it hunt your fish but also a lot of inverts. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Cut throat cove? I love it! It was either that or Arnold's nightmare... But I didn't think many people would get the Predator reference. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Cut throat cove is solid! Still don't have a creative name for mine yet lol Link to comment

Not sure about the eel but most aren't considered reef safe, not only will it hunt your fish but also a lot of inverts. Yeah there are no shrimps in my tank. Both Houdini(the eel) and Terrance ( the leaf fish) eat them. But the eel leaves Terrance alone and he is pretty slow. I figure with an aggressive enough fish I should be fine. He just has to be a gangster @$$ fish. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't know about compatibility with the leaf fish but a red fuzzy dwarf lion would be sweet. I'm thinking of another nano just to have one of those guys...I want an aggressive tank to! Link to comment

I'm thinking of another nano just to have one of those guys...I want an aggressive tank to! The only reason I'm hesitant to get one is that they are notoriously hard to get eating. Get an eel goby. I don't think an eel goby would be aggressive enough to hold his own against Terrance or Houdini. At the lfs I watched terrance swallow a fire fish twice his size. Half of it was hanging out so they chased him with the net till he let it go. Lol but I'd be afraid the same thing would happen with an eel goby. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The only reason I'm hesitant to get one is that they are notoriously hard to get eating. Maybe find one that's eating already at the LFS...just a thought Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 That's true. If I stumble up on something like that I will definitely have to jump on it. Link to comment

ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Why thank you Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 So the eel (Houdini) has been getting braver, which means he is digging and burying corals. I still only get to see him slithering back in to his hole. And I'm diggin out corals every morning. At least i get to see him finally. Hopefully soon he will be out long enough for pictures.

iball1804 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I love the polyps on the powerhead! Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks. Lol I put them there cause I couldn't find any other good spot for em in the tank. But it started out with about half as many polyps, so it's doing well. Link to comment
