that's what I was going to say too. Is that a fw tank? The wormy things look like these slimy black things we use to sell at walmart of all places. back when they had 2 135g tanks and lots of big fish. Those wormy guys use to get in the filters all the time and were hard to grab as they really were slimy, not just a girly eww thing, they really had a slime on them that made it tough to catch the darn things.

Unfortunately, I do not know any of those species. It's a very cool looking tank though but isn't it too small for those fish, the eel and the turtle? It still looks pretty nice though.

it does look like a sturgeon....but i do have my doubts....first off it is illegal to own one,and i have never heard of a sturgeon that small that looked adult.....my guess would be an odd type of pleco....

t thought that right from the star! but I watched it 3x am pretty sure it's a sturgeon - but there are lots of kind of plecos out there....I have never seen a pleco with a long snout and the eel is SA I'm pretty sure.....

Some cool plecostomus pics John, especially of one of my favorites; the Royal Plecostumus. I am not sure of the identification of the Plec./Sturgeon I feel quite confident of the Rubber Eel as I have had these and that these are not even fish, rather amphibians Carl |

I agree, the sharky looking fish is most likely a sturgeon, but I think the eel is a rope fish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus). If you notice, the nose of a rope fish has little bumps just over the nostril area and the rubber eel does not have them. Just an observation, don't take that to the bank.
