THey might get stressed out for a little while but do u really thinka 7 inch eel is gonna get stressed out in a 30 inch long tank now if u arnt just gonna answer my question then leave because you arnt helping any1

I have had a SFE in a 55 gallon before. You have to decide on a few things.
-If you want to keep the eel, AND other fish for a little while get a bigger tank. With A SFE, you need bigger fish, therefore a bigger tank.
-If all you're going to have is a SFE, and plan on keeping it long get a bigger tank...these things grow fast, especially if kept by themselves and fed correctly.
All in all, IME I would not recommend this for your setup, but then again, what do I know? You're probably going to do what you want, and pay the price for it down the road....good luck

I agree with Frosty I Think that you are going to get it no matter what the "right" thing to do is. And if you do go and get it then why are you here asking questions when people like Elvis, Frosty, and I are telling you what we think is "right"?

You know the more i read your post the less i like you
i dicided not to get the eel. so thanks i guess. i got a maroon clown and i might get one other fish idk

 

[kdfrosty]

Wise decision.

I am sorry you feel this way but I am just happy that you listened to your fellow hobbiest. There are alot of people that ask a question and even though people say no they still think yes and I am glad that you are not one of those people.

Well i got an empty 20 gallon lieing round with 30 lbs of lr and about 30 lbs of ls. any ideas of wat to stock it with

if you want to get some good lights you could turn it into a reef..Thats what I did and I like it a lot!!

Yup, take your time creating a nice reef tank. Start with lights and LR, and who knows what you might end up with.
