They wont allow the 3rd choice but its both so youll have to post it
CHANGE instead of Snow F. Eel and change it to Ghost Eel

The fuzzy lion would be perfect for a 30 gallon aquarium. On the other hand, the snowflake eel can grow to be 36" long, which is longer than a 30 gallon itself. The MINIMUM tank size for a SFE is 55 gallons, but IMO, the recommended size is about 125 gallons. If you have a pretty penny, there is a rare yellow dwarf moray (Gymnothorax melatremus)then that would be a perfect choice for that tank, being as they only reach 8" MAX in the wild. Minimum tank size for that specimen is 15 gallons. Your tank is twice that. But, if you find one, be prepared to spend anywhere from $350-$800.

I forgot to change the Snow F. Eel to a Ghost Eel cause I found out that they dont need a big tank

I dunno I've read that 30 gallons is fine for a dwarf lion, I also read the same about a gosht eel. Not a snowflake though. I'm just mentioning what I've read.

The Dwarf Lion would do just fine in that tank size but the Moray would outgrow it .. also .. I know that it says that the snowflake is more passive than most eels .. but if it sees the lion eating it WILL try to take the lions food .. that could be disastrous (spell*)
