My 125g Community Tank.. Fire Eel, Clown Loaches..

I just wanted to share some pics of the community tank that I started. I've kept predatory / nocturnal fish for so long I wanted a tank that I could actually look at and see the fish swimming around. For me this tank is the best of both worlds. I have the schooling fish that I can watch but I still get the excitement of seeing my fire eel come out from time to time. The kids are enjoying the tank a lot more as well. For some reason they never wanted to look at a wolf fish just sitting on the bottom of the tank

The stock list is:

1x 9" fire eel
2x dwarf guarami
10x 1.5 - 2.5" clown loaches
10x 2-3" australian rainbowfish
1x 5.5" Hoplo Catfish
3x Rubber Lip (Bulldog) Plecos

Anyway.. some pics

Water change time.. 50% WC's once a week. Fluval FX5 on right and Aquatop CF-500UV on left. Between the two the tank has a "rated" flow of 1450gph.

Hoplo Catfish.. He is very active.

You have some nice looking fish! And your equipment/ tank and stand are pretty decent too. I am not crazy about the PVC, but its cost effective as well as useful.

Yea.. you either love or hate PVC pipe lol. Personally I like it, it makes the fire eel and clown loaches a lot more comfortable as well since there are tons of hiding spots. Eventually I'll do away with it but it would take a lot of driftwood to make up for it.

Some more pics of the clowns. The last clown is a runt and has a head deformity. I kinda like him lol. The clowns are very happy. I came home to three of them relaxing on their sides. They move every time I try to get a pic of it.
