Snow flake eel with other eels?

[reef rico]

My cuz purchased a snow flake yesterday and was wondering if it is alright to have more eels in the tank with it. I'ts only around 55 gallons and has a tang in there with a long nose hawk and a false perculia.

A riak I wouldnt take. You may or may not get away with it. It may depend on how competitive they need to be for food, and how big they get. With several eels I would be very worried about the fish. BTW 55 is on the small side for a Tang of most any size. They are very active and need plenty of swimming space otherwise they can get stressed which in the case of Tangs usually leads to a disease ick and or mhlle which in most cases means the end of the Tang.

I've had snowflakes in with other eels and they did just fine. They were all about the same size and they were target fed with a long stick to insure everyone was eating. It was an eel only tank so I agree with graveyardworm that the Tang might not respond well to added eels.

ye ino what u meen but believe me that tang has been through hell and my cuz really doesnt take care of his fish properly and it has never got ich. But is there a chance the snowflake might attack his fish and or kill?
