how has your experience been with the snowflake eel and clownfish in the same tank? I'm thinking about a similar setup

I recently got rid of the eel cuz I had to downgrade but the eel and clownfish didn't really interact only when it was feeding time then jt was a different story, I would feed the eel and clownfish would try tk steal the food it has gotten him almost bitten on multiple occasions so I guess it just depends on your clownfish if he's a food monster that wants all the food to one selves

I have a 15 inch snowflake with clownfish. No issue. Also have a jeweled moray in there, he has ate some smaller fish but not touched the clowns. My male is 3 inches, female is about 4.5 to 5

My old tank was 75 gallons also with the feeding the clownfish would legit try to steal the food out of the eels mouth

Hum cardinals are super cool and peaceful. With the firefish I wouldnt do any damsels or dottybacks. A blenny would be cool too, they have lots on personality

I actually had a lawnmower blenny when my tank had a bunch kf hair algae due to high nitrates which js fixed now I got them to a low 5-10 but he died kf starvation I legit tried feeding him I out food jn his face he would always run

Also aren't clownfish part of the damselfish family

Yes clowns are! You should look into a tailspot blenny. Colorful, small and easy to keep

I'll look into the tailspot so I shouldn't get a fire fish?
