    Just be careful not to get any small bottom dwelling fish, as they might become lunch for your eel

    check out liveaquaria.com good site for finding what ur looking for. dwarf angels would be cool. clownfish, firefish, some sort of wrasse, such as flasher wrasse, carpenter wrasse or sixline

    yeah I know over the past few months ive spent more time than I'd like to admit admiring everything and wanting it all lol

    yeah thats one thing I'm a little weary of

    haha firefish are out of the question, there the reason I got the eel for free lol it ate 2 of the previous owners firefish hahaha ;D:trampolin;D
    I was thinking about a 6 line wrasse but I just hope hes fast lol

    A 6 line will be fast, and can also be a bully...but I don't think that'll be much of an issue with 3 damsels & an eel LOL. Might get some fighting with 4 aggressive fish in there, though.
