as a baby.. no... but when he gets older there is always a chance he might try to

 

[crox]

I would say no.

if u get a sfe... u might say goodbye to... the sixline, clowns, and maybe the cleaner.... as long as u get him small.... feed him well there is a better chance that he might not eat ur fish

 

[3bavboys]

ahhh , not worth it then
pr of clowns were the 1st ones in - gotta keep them as long as i can
6 line may get eaten too, huh ?

depends how big the sixline is.... i mean its hit and miss with eels ... if u keep him fed well... u have a better chance he will not eat ur other fish... u can never be 100% sure though... sfe's are night predators and might just sneak up on fish at night and snatch them..

when what i have die off - i'll switch to an aggressive tank
always wanted a lionfish , sfe, trigger - etc
