Hi everybody !
I have a Tesla Eel (name Nicolai), he is doing great. He is in the tank with a few damsels and a big ole red hermit crab. He is a great eater, he takes everything we've offered so far, silversides, sand eels, shrimp, squid and scallops. He's been with the damsels for about 5 months now, and none have come up missing. Also he was raised in a tank with other fish at his previous owner.
Anyway, for my question, what do you all think about him getting a cleaner wrasse??? I have a friend who has one in their eel tank with a zebra, a golden and a snowflake, but I think those eels are not piscivores like Nicolai is. I'd like to see him have his teeth done and all, but I wonder if it would be worth the risk. Do you guys think he would recognize the wrasse as being a helper?????
