If You Are Doing An Agressive Tank, Lion Fish Look Really Good, But If He Can Get It In His Mouth He Will Eat It. I Would Check Out Saltwater.com, It Will Give You Details On The Fish That You May Want To Buy, As Far As The Eel This Is What They Do, I Promise You, If He Got In There, He Can Get Out. They Will Sometimes Stay In The Same Spot For Days. I Had A Zebra Eel, Same Thing With Him. I Do Not Know What You Are Feeding Yours, I Would Buy Shrimp From The Market, Now They Can Eat The Whole Thing But This Is Just More Waste In Your Tank. I Would Dehead And Peel The Shrimp, Then Cut It Into 1 Inch Long Peices, This Will Make Him Come Out Of That Rock Like Quick, They Also Like Squid, Try The Shrimp First, Don't Buy Alot At One Time, Till You Know What He Prefers.

Freshwater fish have alot of fat and so are not good for saltwater fish long term, OK for a short time, they should be eating something that came from saltwater.
