Well i have seen videos of them eating other eel like fish. Most of my fish (fire goby and wrasse) are small tube shaped and i don't want them to get eaten. I was thinking of just waiting for them to reach their full size before getting one.

They show no aggression? I know that they start out invert eaters but once they change from female to male (which happens as they age) they turn into fish eaters.
