If you want an eal, you will have to get big fish because they will eat the small fish.

good luck

If this is going to be a reef tank, forget the EEL. It will eat those shrimp, and anything else it can catch.
If you want a peacefull tank, get rid of the damsels, they get aggressive and territorial.

ok no reef just live rock and the eel is going into one of my 55 and i want a pair of clowns any other ideas for my tank

 

[unleashed]

for an eel thats peaceful go snowflake the realy dont bother many fish unless they are realy tiny and can fit in his mouth and they are reef safe suposedly thats what i have read at least

 

[gotclowns]

i was thinking about a banana eel is that a bad thing

 

[unleashed]

for a 55 gal yes very bad he will get to be a big eel 4 ft or longer.must remember he is a morray and will eat your other fish if you want one for sure must have one even make the 55 gal a peaceful tank and house the banana eel in the larger tank

and i was thinking about a blue tang but they get like 12 inches

 

[unleashed]

have you found a compatibilty chart yet?

 

[gotclowns]

no wheres that at i need something like that

 

[unleashed]

email me at doggiestlist@yahoo.com ill direct you to one

 

[zanoshano]

you could get a big enough blue tang to go with the eel.

 

[gotclowns]

the eel will be about 8 inches when i get how big should the tang be

 

[unleashed]

I havent been able to find anything listed as a banana eel in either one of my fish books as a reference to growth cycle but i looked up the chart and tangs can live with eels so it says id suggest something on the large side to detour feeding on it

 

[zanoshano]

i havent been able to find a boi on the banana eel either, but if its 8 in, i would say the tang needs to be at least 5" to be safe.

i have seen the banana eel for sale on this site ,but none of my books or any searches i do for one gives the scientific name .this eel seems to be one the stores named because they have no clue what kind it accually is.just a hunch
