Snowflake eel without a doubt! But you want something more vicious-looking, then Fimbriatus eel might be a good choice. It's got an attractive yellow coloration arounf its jaw. It's pretty mild-tempered, compared to other members of the genus. Chestnut is also a good choice, but I haven't seen one for sale for a long time. But, you see one available, go for it!! I believe wolf eel is not a true eel, but more closely related to the pseudochromis family. but still look like an eel...

I have heard of fimbriated eels going after Queen Triggers! They get aggressive as they age. If you want something cool looking that doesnt get too big with a mild temperment, check our own SWF.com for the Banana Eel!!!

well fimbriated is out of the question i think because they are really mean from what i have read and from what people that have had them told me, i think the best bet is a snowflake or a chestnut...my brothers friend jim that owns a LFS around here can get me chestnuts any size i want...so i will probally be goin for that ill let ya kno in about 2-3 weeks thanks:yes:

ive had snowflakes go after triggers to. all eels have different personalities. most get more aggressive with age/size. but the snowflake is the most docile that iv delt with
