Can't say I have seen a chainlink around these parts, but lots of snowflakes. I can not remmeber seeing anyone who has a snowflake say they would not do it all over again. They are very personable and best of all fairly easy keepers at a reasonable price (around my parts about 20 bucks for one).

I got the chainlink and now is doing great!!! At first when I introduced him in the tank, my two other fish, golden stiped grouper(3 in.), and huma trigger(3 in.) thought his head was a shrimp or a fish. They didnt attack, but now they know how big he is, and the fish are scared of him.

Either will work in a 55gal and perhaps both would at the same time. You just need to be careful and observe for "the battle". I once introduced a 3ft zebra into a tank with a 1.5ft snowflake and the snowflake was biting the crap out of him. I had to take the zebra back. Anyways, if you want them both then I'd watch the tank over closely for there first few interactions. Plan on taking an hour or so to watch them. That's what I did, but my snowflake had already been in the tank much longer than the zebra. Definitely introduce them at the same time, again if you are going with the both of them. If one already lives in the permanent tank then take him out and put him back in with the other (after the rocks have been rearranged) to ensure your best probability of them getting along. The veteran eel will then think it is new territory and reduce his chances of claiming the home stumping grounds. HTH and good luck.
