is it o.k to mix triggers and eels, my eel already ate 2 wrass

. (I didnt see him do it but they are GONE)and I dont want to loose my triggers. the eel is a white mouth about 16 in and fat the triggers are small about the size of a 50 cent piece to a silver doller,so far so good but I thought I would ask.

thnx Fishfreak2407

i don't know for sure but im pretty sure a 16in eel will eat a 50cent sized fish. I dont have either but the fit in the mouth concept probably holds true here.

I agree with tkeracer619 on the size of the fish. You also may want to look on the floor behind your tank for your wrasses. They will carpet surf if not locked in the tank, and will defiantly jump if scared.

ya, Im hopeing that the way they wedge themselves at night will keep the eel from eating them.
