Looking for eel sugestions

[2tall 46385]

As the title says, im wanting to put another eel in my tank. Right now i have a 10 inch zebra, so im looking for advice on what kind to put with him. I have a buddy getting rid of a 12 inch skelator, but i dont know alot about them. Any input would be greatly appreciated..

sounds like a good mix. It all depends on how big your tank is and what kind of filtration you have. 2 eels produce alot of waste.

They will be in my 90 gal. Its got a 40 gal sump, an algea scrubber, a euro reef rs250 skimmer and i also have a 40 breeder tied in with 30 lbs of live rock in it.

Sounds to me like you should be okay filter wise, may have to step up a little with water changes until the tanks bio catches up with the new load though.

Get a banana eel, you will not regret

if the skeletor is available, go for it, they are probably the most handsome of the Echidna eels

-1 to the skeletor and bananna eel. the zebra will get over twice as large as the skeletor or the bananna eel at full grown. you would need another large eel. IMO you would need a larger tank if you wanted 2 large eels. just my opinion

Im not worried about a bigger tank, i have a 240 in my storage unitfor when that time comes. Do you think the zebra will mess with the skelator?

once it see's that is has a a foot or two on the skeletor or the bananna eel it might eat it. IMO

A zebra would be fine with a skeletor or miliaris given adequate tank size and filtration.

I had a zebra with a snowflake and it easily could have eaten the snowflake when they were first paired up, but there were no issues. Zebras are extremely passive animals.

I have had a 3' zebra eel with a chain link eel for over a year with no problems the chain link started off 6" long and is now close to a foot. another great eel is a banded snake eel I have had mine for 2 years now and is my favorite eel that I have. I currently have 5 eels 2 snowflakes, a chain link, zebra, and a banded snake eel
