starting a aggressive tank-I have a 75G what should I get? I was thinking of a lion and a eel but what kind of eel and how many fish can go in it as well as how well do they play with inverts...I have a cleaner shrimp, purple lobster, and a coral banded shrimp? Thanks!

agg fish and inverts no play nice, tho a eel and lion wouldnt be a bad mix, depending on species both, i would do sfe, maybe an antennata or fuzzy dwarf. for cleanup i would do hermits and snails. also if u want another fish id go w/ a small toby puffer

I would say a snowflake or a zebra eel. A fu manchu or fuzzy dwarf lion would be okay. Having an eel means being okay with it eating your inverts. 'Tis just the way it is.

I really like the Fimbriated Eel. They look nice and don't get extremely big. Also, do eels try and escape? The last thing I need is to wake up and see my cat playing with it. LOL

sometimes, i have seen suicidal eels, but a fimby would be a bad choice for a 75 and for multiple species tanks, they will attempt to eat any fish

I have a snowflake eel and I really like him, but as people have said above, inverts won't last long in an aggressive tank.

I have a Lg Lion a Snowflake eel and a Porcupine puffer... and several surviving Damsels in a 135 gal there really great but good luck on figuring out a clean up crew!!! I have a few snails acouple of lil baby hermits and a crab some place in there I have seen a few times.... but I can't figure out the type of clean up that I want or need because apparntly everything in there could be on the menu at any point! everything I want to buy I can't have because one will eat the other or something...
