You could put an SFE in there. Just becareful with what other fish you have in there. You might also want to think about getting a bigger tank in the future too.

Garden Eels are not suitable for small tanks. This has been discussed quite a few times.
They're a communal species, that require a large, open tank with a very deep sand bed.

ime(which in many cases can be challenged a 30 hex will work well as long as provided w/ a 6"+ sandbed, and altho they r passive they can be housed w/ semi agg species such as the small crustacean eatong morays or lionfish. i would def NOT reccomend these to the beginning tank (being 3 mos or less[unless precycled by any])

Not to be rude, but you've had yours less than a month (or barely more so than that). That's not any experiance to be saying "this will work/this wont work".
They certainly CAN NOT be housed with Moray species OR Lionfish, because they are prey for both, in the wild.

hahaha he says wer not fighting in a very plain voice. and altho i have had mine just for a short period of time doesnt mean i no nothing. the first 2 or 3 weeks i was on this board i didnt have a tank but i still new a bit. i have done plenty of research and talked to ppl that have owned them plus experienced hobbyists so dont say i cant have an idea on an animal just becuz ive had it a lil more than a month

I'm not saying you're inexperianced...I'm simply saying that having a fish for less than one month does not mean it's a success, by any means...especially if you've never kept said species. Ask any long time hobbiest and you'll hear the same thing, about any species of fish.
I understand that you're only 12 years old, but there has been many, many times where you've given definitive information and it's been rediculously incorrect. I dont claim to know everything and when there's a topic, asking for advice, I dont give it unless I know what I'm talking about.
All of us appreciate your suggestions, advice, etc...and it's good that you're jumping in and doing so. But, dont tell people "this will work", when you have no idea what you're talking about, because you dont have actual experiance with the fish.
With that being said, let's make it back to the topic at hand. I'm done discussing this and hijacking this thread.
