    That fresh water electric eel needs a make over - Damn but he's UGLY!

    I just found the perfect place to take kids that tap on tank glass - the Pirhanna tank:laugh:

    i was so irritated when a bunch of school kids started hitting the tank so he would shock the water... felt so sorry for the poor guy... those kids are stupid tho if they cracked the glass or something that fish has enough power to knock them out

    A lfs not too far away from me had an electric eel for sale.
    Was sooooo tempted, but don't really want to dedicate my tank to 1 fish.

    I think when I come to SA in December, I must definately see if I can go up to Pretoria for a day. Definately want to go to the Aquarium again.

    Nice! I was there about a year ago was also impressed, I managed to get someone to show me the pump rooms, quite amazing.
    The only issue I had was the state of the trout they had, poor fellows do not do well in captivity, water has to be below 16.
    Are the trout still there @KennyG ?

    @Rickus well my brother had the camera and i cant see any pics but i iwsh he did cause it was just colours everywhere
    @Fanlie those loaches were still fairly small , i think they were near the 10 cm region tho
    @spock rider yea the trout are still there and there are a lot if i might add so i dont know if they were happy or not but looked happy
