stocking fish, help

[lucy10203]

what should i feed the eel, and how many times a day?
and will it eat any crabs, hermit crabds, or cleaner shrimp?

 

[Germanman]

will probally just eat any fish and the shrimp. they should be feed silversides, krill and make sure u add some vitamins to that all.

 

[lucy10203]

alright thanks, and well i figured out all the fish im plannign on getting
soo i coudl use some suggestions if there is too much etc..

1 flame angel fish
1 bicolor pseudo chromis
1 clown fish
1 snow flake eel ( still deciding even though as much as i want it, i dont want it to eat my fish..)
1 neon blue goby
1 lemon peel angelfish
1 auriga butterfly fish
1 spotted mandarin
and mabye a flame hawkfish

the eel will most likely eat all those fish...thats why mine has his own tank....good luck though...otherwise a good group of fish there.

 

[lucy10203]

aw darn... i guess i wont be gettin the eel then.. oh well, rather not have it than have it and it eat my fish that ive spent my hard earned money on lol.

 

[Germanman]

maybe in the future u can get a tank for the eel like it did .i love mine so much! so fun to feed him.

 

[lucy10203]

what fish could i get instead that the eel would not eat?
..ehh i gues il just get a shark instead.. lol just kiding
and is it hard to maintain a hawaiian feather duster?

 

[Germanman]

it would have to be a predatory tank...most colorful reef fish will get eaten but i have see sucess with large tangs and angels with snowflakes. u could try a banded snake eel or blue ribbon eel they tend to be reef safe.

 

[lucy10203]

yeah that coudl be a good idea.. but i heard that keeping a blue ribbon is really hard dince it doesnt want to eat and dies. and about the banded eel, its really nice but i dotn know how much it cost. the thing taht i liked so much about the snowflake was that it was only around 25 bucks..

 

[Germanman]

yea both are hard to feed and are a bit expensive. they shouldnt be added tell later anyway.
