Does that mean 3 sohal tangs? Sohals are basically 100% incompatible with their own kind. As for the others....I would probably attempt it, but those aggressive triggers can be hit or miss.

no, that fish list needs to be revised. That waste load is way too high, you cannot keep those triggers with the lion, and you cannot have 3 sohals in the same tank.

the tess will eat everything in a tank, and if not at leats kill it all. they need a species only tank, you would have to go with an eel that is less aggressive

I agree. Many SFEs are very outgoing.

well from my studies on eels, the zebra is by far the most outgoing of any other eel out there. they have been known to swim all day around the tank in open waters not just between the rock works like most sfe's do and yes sfe's do hide most of the time, do your research and you will come to the same conclusion i have and this is for the author of this post not you guys bc you allready have your mind set that sfe's are more active than zebra's but the fact is they are not.

Eliminate the Tess,2 Sohals,and the Volitan,have filtration at the least twice rated for your tank volume and it's still pushing the limit at adult sizes.

puffer 24/7,
what studies? you mean reading books? im pretty sure you never owned an eel or actually never did a "study" on them at your age(which doesnt mean you cant know alot about them, im sure you do) but ont he other hand i dont want to se the author of this post getting a zebra moray for the wrong reasons. When he can easily get a SFE which is a cool looking,readily available, very peacefull eel which will only get 24"(perfect for his tank with the tankmates he wants) and once again the word "fact" you shouldnt be using in your "opinions"

i cant really understand what you were saying to me but i think i got the hang of it, well to be honest a zebra in a 250 would be perfect and much better of a conversation piece than a sfe would be and not to mention you will see it a lot, lot more. type in zebra moray eel in the toolbar and look at all the information comes up on them and see for yourself.

they are studies if i am pulling information from very reputable sources in the marine world, not everything you search are opinions, plus puffer is long gone, he has not been heard seen in weeks.
