Okay, this question is for a friend. He has a established 10 gal tank and wants to know if there is any type of eel that he could put in this tank safely??

Again, I am no expert. A really small snowflake would be nice for a few months. But it will not take long for it too get too big.
If your friend is willing to give it up soon down the road, they are a decent addition.
As for me, I would not do it.

Okay, what is the minimum size tank they can be in and he also wants to know what other things can be kept with them safely??
I know absolutley nothing about eels so this is why I am here to ask, the scare the daylights out of me. They remind me of snakes and ask hubby what he was thinking when he put a dead one around my neck and I ran through the glass door. What an idiot.......

They scare my wife also, she has named any eel I have had "Snake"...You might be ok in a 30 or 35 with a Snowflake if you bought him very small. They are very very very hardy, just give him plenty of rockwork to hide in. I am also curious to hear some other opinions though.
