A picture would be helpful, I’d say probably clear packaging tape though

I really want an eel or two for my tank but I don’t want something that will get too big. What all do these guys eat? Just blood/black worms and brine shrimp? Will they accept pellet food of any sort? Hard to keep?

Looks great!! The fake ones in the background look a little too light in my opinion.

Good advice, do you have photos of your tank?

Have any photos of your tank with the fake plants?

Rehoming a few other fish but it is a 125 that will have another male electric blue acara and 2 male electric blue rams, the rest are all bottom feeders. His mouth does not function.

That’s what I was afraid of, any suggestion of getting one more female or how I should keep the numbers?

My blood parrot has been fairly aggressive and territorial and I want to get him a friend. How will I know if they will be friends or enemies, and how will I prevent them from pairing up and bullying their tank mates? (I assume mine is a male)

Did more research and I think hot glue is aquarium safe, it was even suggested by the king of diy

Good call, I did make a mistake with the hot glue, not sure what to do at this point, maybe coat it? Or just start over. I planned on coating the patchcrete(I moved to post hole cement for my top layer) somehow. Heard apoxy can get expensive, thought about a krylon fusion clear coat. I planned...

I was going to do some research and ask about that. I’m thinking it’s probably not but I could probably find aquarium safe paint and coat it thoroughly

still in progress. Cut up and hot glued two juice jugs together then coated it with patchcrete(similar to concrete). Still needs a bunch of layers of patchcrete.

Thank you, how did you ancor the plants?

My EBA is very peaceful, if anything he gets bullied by the blood parrot. They don’t mess with the rams but the rams will chase and try to nip at the blood parrot, he doesn’t even notice usually

Suggestions on where to get good cheap fake plants?

would it be wise to have a make and female electric blue acara, a male and female blood parrot, and two pairs of rams? They’ll be in a 125 gallon with lots of hiding places and bottom feeder tank mates. I understand spawning aggression but would it otherwise be a good idea?

I definitely think it needs some height, especially to keep everyone off the bottom of the tank. Only problem is that it’s hard to find decorations that are tall and skinny. They’re also kind’ve expensive. I’m wanting to do some type of caves 12”-18” off the bottom of the aquarium. This would...

Yeah that may be okay. Which ones do you recommend?

They get a little large for 5 in a 125, I think they’ll be comfortable with 3
