I LOVE EELS - Can I Buy More????

I am a new enthusiastic reefer. Purchased a pair of Dwarf Hawaiian Golden Eels two days ago. One is still MIA , The other is Eating like a pig. They are really beautiful. Purchased this breed due to SIZE and natural disposition. Perfect reef eels. I have a large coral filled 90g tank. going to add lots of cool eel tubes as long as I can make them invisible and hidden in live rock. want to mantain natural look. so Can I buy more>???? also can I get some ribbon eels?? I dont want anything big or aggressive in my tank.

My fish so far are all about 2 inches and fat
chevron tang
pair of picasso clowns
flame hawk
Long nose hawk
3 helfrich flame fish
Radion wrasse
(intended Rhambosis wrasse )

Can I add like 2 or 3 more little eels?? Are there any rare small breeds not often found in trade?? I enjoy feeding them
Scott

Honestly, I would not, you are at your fish limit if not over it IMHO. I think you should back off wanting to buy any fish for at least 6 months and see how your tank manages. It would be a shame to just buy fish only to have them die so you could buy more. These are living things and a 90 gallon tank really just isn't that big.

You are at your limit of fish in the 90. Ribbon eels are very hard to take care of, rarely survive and will eat your fish
