new tank mates

[mikero64]

I was thinking about adding a new fish to my 20h I was just wondering what the thoughts would be for putting a snowflake eel into my tank. currently there are 2 false perculas a coral banded shrimp and many small crabs and snails. the delema is 1)would it be alright to put an eel in this small of tank 2) would he be compatible with the other fish. This is a tank that also houses a leather gsp and a few small branches of acoporia. The tank has been running for about 11 months.

I think a 20 gallon is too small for an eel. MAYBE if you had a 29 but even then, the eel would make short order of your crustacean population in such a small environment. There's a good article in Reefkeeping Magazine about reef- and fish-safe morays this month. Take a gander, it's good reading! :)
