He was just fine.

juvi SFE's can be as small as 5" so if you get one that small yeah it can work for a while,but I can't imagine an eel over a foot being "fine" in a 30g tank. The waste an eel produces is not worth adding one until you have a bigger tank, and in that small of a tank he will most likely eat the other fish you put in.

hi, i have 10'' SNE and a 2-3'' porcupine puffer both in a standard 20g. Is it crucial to get a bigger tank now or just a year? If yes, what size do you recommend just for the 2?

personally, i would make the jump to a 55g as soon as you can. A 20g isnt really good for anything that is going to be a messy eater. Though the eel isnt big yet, he is going to make one heck of a mess eating and I'm assuming you dont have a great filtration system in that small of a tank.

depends on how many tanks you intend on buying by the time that puffer reaches a ft long..
i will tell you from experience that larger tanks are much easier to maintain water quality..
