green wolf eel compatibility

[fishboy10]

i have one spot left in my house for a tank i already have 4 running including one other saltwater tank but would a 65 gallon be fine for a green wolf eel wich is really in the dotty back familiy and would he eat a flame angle domino damsel and a blue spotted puffer? or would a couple different tank mates be needed

 

[Reeferdude56]

Why do you want te green wolf? If you just want an eel I would stick with a snowflake. A snowflake would fit in a 65 and is an invert eater so he would be fine with fish, just not shrimps or crabs.

 

[fishboy10]

what kind of fish with a snowflake in a 65? would a blue spotted puffer a dwarf anglefish a damsel fish of soem sort and a wrasse if so what kinds and would sea urchins be safe

 

[Reeferdude56]

All those sound good besides the urchin. All eels eat either fish or inverts. So either have it alone or with no inverts

 

[fishboy10]

so a domino damsel bluespotted puffer and flame angle and would any cleanup crew creature work at all

 

[Reeferdude56]

You can use clean up just be prepared to replace them often.

 

[fishboy10]

but for a 65 a snowflake moray eel a blue spotted puffer a flame angle and a domino damsel wouldnt tbat be too much for a 66

 

[fishboy10]

65 not 66

You will probably end up regretting the damsel. They are mean, the older they get the meaner they get. They will stress out your other fish. The first four comments are what some people commented on a Facebook thread had to say about damsels. A damsel will get territorial and protect its space.

so the eel puffer dwarf angle be fine is there one morr fish thatd fit in a 65 with them

there it says tank size 70 gallons not 65 would it stil be fine im worried about the eel eating hawkfish and the flame angle ik the puffer be fine

My snowflake and green wolf do just fine with tuxedo urchans and hermit crabs

Definitely would get the hawkfish Cleo recommend. IN all due respect that beast would get to nearly 9 inches when fully grown. I would get a smaller one probably max size 5 inches

He wants a hawkfish and the ones I liked at, besides that one, only grow up to like 3". A three inch fish is definitely food for other predator fish he wants to put in there.

Blue spotted/Toby puffers don't get a big enough mouth to eat fish, snowflakes aren't fish eater they are invert eaters. I looked on liveaquarias page and arc eye, flame, and long nose hawkish all grow over 4" which should be plenty large. Fish boy it is really up to you though.

Let him just choose the one he wants, it's only a suggestion. I don't think he had fully made up his mind anyway. The hawkfish I chose looks really nice even though it's gets really big.
