garden eel+GDM?

[twist of lime]

would a garden eel and golden dwarf moray eel would get along in the same tank? The tank is 6' long and 28" deep and 3' tall. The sand bed is 5 inch to7 inch in some places. The smallest fish I will have will be lyretail anthias so I don't think the eels will beable to eat anything. Could a garden eel and gdm coexist in a tank?

Does any one know? I've seen gdms with snowflakes befor and they seem to be fine. I'm just not sure about the garden eel.

I've just started reading about garden eels for my seagrass tank. I think you're going to need a bit more sand. Also I dont think I would put them together with a Moray. I had a 16 inch Snowflake eat a 1 1/2 - 2 inch Yellow Tail Damsel.

GDMs only get to about 12" full grown and are considerred the most "reef safe" eel. I had one in my 30g that didn't even touch my clown gobies or fire fish which both could've been easy prey.
