40 Breeder Snowflake Eel Tankmates

[John Kastanos]

I am planning to convert my 40 Breeder from freshwater to saltwater, and I'm starting to plan on what kind of fish I will be keeping. I have heard great things about the Snowflake Moray Eel and I really really want one, so it is definitely on my list. What other fish can I keep with it? Will he harm anemones at all? Which fish are safe with him? Is there enough room to keep any angels/butterflies/tangs with him? Will he harm neon gobies? What kind of cleaning crew is suitable? Any tankmate suggestions? Thank you!

Meh. Depends if he's angry and hungry or not.
Just kidding, I would add anything bigger than his mouth.

But is there enough space to add anything to the tank that doesn't fit in his mouth? Is there enough space to add a tang? A small angel?
Thanks for replying!

Hello?

No tang could live in a 40, check out some of the dwarf angels to find out which ones may be good in a 40. I've kept a cherub pygmy angel and he's a great fish that would be fine in a 40. Feed the snowflake about every 3 days as much as he will eat, a snowflake is very unlikely to wrestle down a fish; just don't put anything super small. When all is said a 40 will be sort of tight and that can be risky for potential tankmates.

Thanks, I'll try a dwarf angel and perhaps a pair of clowns that he can't eat, I plan on getting a small one.
