Mixing Eel With Eel like Fish.

[ThatGuy]

Can I mix a SFE with a Engineer Gobi if they are roughly the same size?

The eel probably won't bother your fish, but they have a real taste for shrimp.

Everything seems to eat shrimp.

I had a 12" snowflake try to eat my clowns (in my old tank). But he learned real quick that wasn't a good idea when he followed them into their anemone. It was like something out of a cartoon, his face stopped but his body kept moving, then he ran away as fast as he could slither.

To me, eels seem the same as crabs... They're fine as long as you keep them well fed. They're lazy and opportunistic.

Mine was about 8 - 9" and ate the best shrimp money can buy...Scarlet Cleaner, Blood, Coral Banded. I kept it well fed, but it really didn't matter. When I caught it, he had a large cleaner and blood inside of him, and looked like a boa constrictor that had just eaten a cow.
