Setting up a 60 gallon I bought can't really decide what to do with it. Would any fangtooth morays work in it. I like the Yellow heads but I think they need about 90 gals. Could a grey face work or maybe even a golden banana moray?

Do you currently keep eels? My wife loves the idea, but I don’t want to find one on the floor.
Never kept one for that same reason but this tank does have a tight mesh lid so I thought I could be a possibility

The ones you listed are among the smallest eels in that group, I believe. 2 foot range?

Would it be the only fish? What are the tank's dimensions?

I would say that because of the length, your main choice in moray eels would most likely be the golden dwarf moray, they grow about a feet and would definitely look good in that type of tank, the bigger eels which are 2 feet such as the jewel, snow flake, chain link, skeletors would or might find problems with the length

Yellow heads are big! In a 60 you will probably want to stick to a small eel. The dwarf golden morays are super hard to find. Why fangtooth? Any fish you could keep in a 60 would probably be food at one point.
