I was curious how much truth is there to eels escaping? Is it crazy to get an eel w/o a canopy?

if you get a small SFE your wrasse should be fine for now. however my SFE has grown rather quickly, but at the moment may not be a threat to a 3in fish. Just remember that the eel will grow as fast as you feed it, which should be 2-3 times a week.

yeah, they will get out. mine jumped out of the bucket it was in while i was taking my tank down so I could move. They are also really hard to get a hold of with out hurting them and get back into the tank when they first get out.
You can get several things to keep the eels from getting out. You do not need to have a traditional canopy, but you don't want something with large holes in it either. If you want the top of your tank to be open you can try egg crates or some other stuff.
