Just got a 12 inches Snow Flake Eel... so cool.
I set her up in a 25 gals with live rock and a few inverts (mushrooms).
I think it's quite happy, I feed it goldfishs once in a while and she really goes for that!

My question is quite simple:

Anybody else could be kept in there or is anything considered a potential prey/lunch/food to her?
Could I keep larger fishs with it? or not? I was thinking smtg like a yellow tang...

Thanks for your input in this.

As long as that 25 isn't the long term planned home, a yellow tang would be fine as long as it's at least a couple inches long. Any fish need to not fit in it's mouth. However, both the yellow and the snowflake need over 50 gallon tanks. Bigger is better with those animals. The yellow needs swimming room and the snowflake needs lots of space because it gets to 30 inches long and for water quality reasons. The snowflakes generally choose to eat crustaceans first unless they get very hungry and resort to fish.
