I'm thinking it's a smaller eel therefore less mess (cleaner water). Plus smaller mouth equals less fish eaten from my display tank.

I'm planning for a dwarf lion, puffer, blue throat trigger, blue tang, yellow tang, dwarf angel, rabbitfish. What do you think? I have a 130gal.

Spending $150 on livestock being shipped is a tough pill for me to swallow. I dunno, maybe it's just me, I can't see him, I don't know if he is gonna live through the transport, the extra shipping cost, it's cold in Calgary - will he freeze? Have you done it before? What's ur experience with shipping livestock especially during Calgary winters.

only thing I would question is the puffer I seen em slurp a small snow fleke eel up like spaghetti also seen then break off lion fish spines
so a puffer wouldn't be a good idea

Hmmm.... I've heard that a couple times now, I have to really rethink planning for a puffer, but I like puffers, ahhh. Thanks man.

Golden Dwarf Moray.....
 
Hi there. From experience; Golden Dwarf Moray eels
(Gymnothorax melatremus)
are fairly docile and "reef safe" - with caution. I've seen them in a few reef displays. The ones I've come across are very well mannered and readily accept even hand fed food. Keep them well fed and add them last to your display - you should be fine. At the end of the day; it's still a moray and may be tempted to try smaller fish/crustaceans as a snack. It's a beautiful addition.

Golden/Banana Moray eels (Gymnothorax miliaris) on the other hand are much more aggressive.

I got a disagree the 2 that I had would rip chunks from other fish

Each new addition will have their own personality. It's a similar scenario with dwarf angels and determining whether they will pick at corals or not. It's "hit and miss" at times.

You are speaking from your experience. I am speaking from mine.
