Thinking of setting up Predator Tank, Advice???

[esco595]

I have an old 25 gallon tank with filter, and power compact lighting (which of course can be upgraded). I have been doing reef tanks for a while so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the needs and care of a predator tank. I wanted to know if you guys had any advice on the sorts of fish/eels/inverts that I can place in the tank after proper cycling and what not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

ps. i heard snowflake eels do well in small tanks but if anyone can confirm it that could be great.

Seriously though...

25 is going to be too small for many fish. You might visit here to reference minimum tank sizes.

And if you do get an eel one day, make sure to keep your tank covered at all times as many are escape artists.

You might consider using your 25 as a quarantine tank, and purchasing a larger tank if possible.

Yea I checked out liveaquaria though i didnt know eels where as troublesome as some past pet snakes lol. Ill keep the tank size in mind. I have two of them so i figured i might turn one into a quarantine/refuge and the other into a nice piece for the stand in my room. Any other suggestions for small the tank?
