Just out of curiosity..

I am trying to do some research before i jump in and buy an eel.. What kind of eel is the least aggressive? (of course if fed properly and monitered.) I know each fish has its own personality and is different, but typically speaking of course..

 

[fmarini]

least aggressive is a Zebra eel, also the most fish safe. However there are eels, such as G. melatremus (dwarf golden morays) which are so small they wont bother anything

from the web Snowflake Eel (Echidna nebulosa)
The snowflake eel is an excellent, hardy, relatively small eel. Bob Fenner, author of The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, calls it “the most peaceful, outgoing and desirable moray species.” Sometimes called the snowflake moray, the starry moray, or the diamondback eel, the snowflake eel is a moray from the Family Muraenidae, but it is one that stays small and is not generally a fish-eater (its dentition is built for crushing crabs and shrimp instead of piscivory). Snowflake eels are indigenous to the Indo-Pacific and the Eastern Central Pacific

I agree that snowflake eels (SFE) are a good choice, but in my experience once they get bigger- they will occasionally potshot fish- whereas Zebras- a similar pebbled toothed eel- have absolutely no interest in fish at all
But Yes-- a SFE, or a zebra eel or a dwarf golden moray would be an excellent choice
