Just got a new (used) 45 gallon off of Craig's List, and I wanted some help with stocking....

All I am 100% on getting is either a peacock eel or a ropefish....or any other related brother

I am going to use sand....I have Quikrete play sand...not the white sand but the tannish brown one, is that good?

Any help?

I've not maintained either fish personally, but a Ropefish requires a larger tank since it will attain up to 3 feet. The peacock eel will or should be fine in your tank, with sand. Here's some more info:
Tropical fish - Macrognathus siamensis - Peacock Eel

Just found this guy. It should work if I can find more info on him, he only gets about 8 in.

eel mastacembelus reg afromastacembelus sp. - Segrest Farms

Help finding info if possible?

Byron the Quikrete you sand you used was it brownish with little pieces of would in it?
