Thanks for taking a look and hopefully for any insight! I have a 55 gallon fish only tank which is currently the home of an 11 inch snowflake. I keep him well fed. The tankmates that I plan on adding are a flame angel(as big and healthy as possible), a dwarf lionfish, small stars and stripes or dogface, and lastly a juvenile clown trigger or picasso. Ideally, I was going to add the flame angel first since he would be the least aggressive of those fish. However, I came across the snowflake in healthy condition and had my eye on him for several weeks so I snagged him up before a big enough flame angel came into the store. So now I have an eel which is supposed to not eat fish that won't fit in its mouth, right? So how do i go about introducing the flame angel? I was planning on quarantining the flame angel regardless for a couple weeks and figured that a clever thing to do would be to swap the eel into the smaller tank and place the angel in the main tank so that he could stake out his territory after the quarantine period so that the flame could chill without the eel keepin an eye on him. Would keeping the eel in the 10 gallon tank( currently up and running) for a couple days maybe a week or so until the flame gets comfortable be a good idea? Any input is greatly appreciated.
