Thanks everyone!
I just got 2 more amazon swords today. They are both about 14 inches tall, with 2 long stems sticking up beyond the surface of the water. They only cost $1 more than the little 4 inch swords, so I figured why the heck not!
The dragon fish is technically called a Violet Goby, or Dragon Goby. They get up to 24 inches in length according to most sources. Mine is about 13 inches right now, so he's got a way to go before he's fully grown. They're actually fairly peaceful. Mine gets along with every other fish in the tank. The only thing he doesn't like is when the eel gets to laying on top of him in a hiding spot.

Oh, the goby's are also considered a brackish water fish, although they can do ok in freshwater. It's recommended that they be moved into, or their tank slowly converted into, a brackish tank as they mature. Mine is in just plain freshwater, but I may set up a brackish tank in the future.

Awesome tank, love the drift wood and sand base. Your fish show the attention and care you take. Oh for the room for more tanks

Here are some more pictures of the tank. They show the 2 new large amazon swords I added, the spotted pictus catfish, and the school of Bleeding Heart Tetra's I added the other day. They've been pretty subdued, schooling very tightly, but I don't know how much of that was due to the attention my tire track eel had been paying them (i think his eyes are bigger than his mouth, fortunately).
Since the eels gone missing this morning, they are actively swimming in a large, loose school all over the tank, definitely enjoying the space.
