what kind of eel can I safely keep in my tank?
I have a 55 gallon, 3 fish (wrasse, blenny, chromis), loets of liferock and some kenyas and xenias.
I love any kind of eel, but drawback is the carnivorous part... What kind of eel can I keep safely? Maybe the garden eel? Thanks. |

I have a small snowflake right now, it did eat my pepermint shrimp though. Besides that he has left everything else alone.

My snowflake chases my fish around when he's hungry but hasn't eaten any yet!!! I feed him frozen silversides everyother day. Good Luck on whatever you choose!

I had a snowflake eel for 3 years in my reef. As long as he had food then he didnt wreck the place. Just poked his head out when he was hungry.

In addition to the snowflakes, I've read that spaghetti eels are reef-safe as well. They're supposed to very talented escape artists, though. No personal experience here, just what I've read.
