eel knowledge

[jaydm93teg]

ok guys, who do i talk to about eels.....i have the tank/skimmer/filter/stand/rock/sand......im getting the light this week some time. So who do i get in touch with on the site or at any LFS to talk to and learn more about what eels are best for beginners and what eels can go together in a tank. I have been reading and reading and reading but i want to talk to someone that has some knowledge or experience before i put two different kinds of eels together. Also i would like to talk with them and find out what other fish can go in with eels.....i think it would be cool to have like 5 or 6 chromis in there just so i have a school of fish and some movement in the tank. Anyway any help and points of directoin are greatly appreciated

the snowflake eel is the most common one i see and seems to be hardy you'll need to cover the tank they will jump i learned that the hard way. as the eel gets big he might eat the chromis if the are to small.
