Ghost eel help "please"

[jholt1320]

I have a 90gal FOWLR and i would like to add this cute baby ghost eel from one of my LFS but i have a mated pair of coral banded shrimp, my fear is that the ghost eel is only the width of a pencil....... and the length of 18" ish. Will the shrimp hurt this little guy?

Well coral band shrimp are opportunistic. So their is very good possibility that they will take a shot at the eel.

Then u have to worry about if the eel makes it past and gets large then he will turn on the shrimp.

So their is a risk.

IMO I would not take the risk

I would be more worried about losing the shrimp IMO

Yeah i thought it might be a bad idea, eels are just to cute when they are small.

Eel vs shrimp my money is on the eel and if you have small fish they will most likely be gone once the eel gets bigger
