It sounds like not too many people have eels... why not try it? I would have some eels if I can... just work the tankmates around the eels.
eels or discus or cichlids?

That's a lot of fish!! But hey, if it worked, good for you. I wouldn't reccomend it though, but....
If it worked, it worked. Let me ask you something though- Did the Fish seem happy? Just Curious.
I've heard of overstocked success stories (my parents had a pacu in a 55, it lived a long time)
lol i know it was way over stocked and i wouldnt do it again. i was young and cought up in the moment of the fish frenzy lol
im still going to try the tetra method though and hopefully it will be ok again. they give the tank more "life" against the slow moving larger fish
and yep your right, everyone has overstocked at some point in there life. we always get suckered in like a puppy in the window "just one more fish wont hurt" but hey i admit to it and im not ashamed :dive:
i just hope i have control this time. do they have some kind of fish AA meetings for people like us?

Ah, got to do some research on certain kind of fish before you buy them. I'm not well aware with eels or some other kinds of fish. Looking things up always help to avoid problems.
Good luck with your "homework" lol.

yeh i would like eels because they're different. how small do the Peacock spiny eels stay? are they freshwater or brackish?
thanks
thanks
Peacock Eels- in the wild, they can get up to a foot in length, but in an aquarium they usually stay under 8 or 9 inches
Zebra Eels- another cool species that stay small. They can get up to 18 inches in the wild, but usually stay under 9 inches in an aquarium.
Spiny Eels are Freshwater, but many species can tolerate Brackish Water for a little bit.
The Difference between spiny eels and true eels is that true eels lack bones in their fins, which spiny eels have.
I think you definitley should get some.
I hope this helps, and I hope you get some. :dive2:
