Eel compatability

[wsz594]

Im thinking of adding an eel to my tank, I have never owned one before. I currently have 2 5-6" dwarf lionfish, 8" sailfin tang, 10-11" spotted grouper, 5-6" dogface puffer, 5" yellow tang, and a 5" foxface. Im planning on adding a large bird wrasse and maybe a large naso also. I dont think I want a Snowflake eel because I have seen them cause HORRIBLE problems(biting and attacking fish) in many of my friends tanks. Would a Zebra Moray be cool with those other fish?

A zebra is a SUPER choice .............. no problems with the inhabitants too!

A zebra would be fine. With those tank-mates it will need to be spot fed.

Cool, I needed to get some some feeding tongs anyway because I have been hand feeding my puffer my for the last year and he just got ahold of my finger the other day, he drew blood and it hurt like heck!

I hand feed my nurse shark, puffer and zebra eel. I don't no how many times I have been bit by them. I agree the puffer huts like hell the eel just kinda surprises you and the nurse well lets just say i let go of the food before she gets to my hand.
