Moray eel isolation

[Narazbad]

I'm breaking down my 90 gallon tank after a large ich outbreak that knocked out half the tank. My niger is currently in ten gallon iso, but I still have a wrasse and the eel to move. I can get away with having the wrasse in iso with the niger, but I am unsure what size to put the eel in.

The 90 will be drained, cleaned and rebooted as a reef very soon, at a new location.

Also, what is the best way to add Metronidazole to food?

What type of eel do you have and how big is it?? IMHO a 10 gallon tank is way to small for the trigger for any extended period of time. How long are you planning to keep them together in the 10??

[Narazbad]

Snowflake. 12-14 inches. I have grand plans on how I'm going to do all this but it is going to take about a week. Maybe less if everything falls in just right.

The trigger is less than five inches.

Okay, everything is decided. Temporary home for each of the fish until Thursday, tank is getting moved and set up tomorrow to start working with a lot of live sand and rock and it will be up on Thursday as my new reef. The current tank is going to turn into their new 50 gallon Iso tank! :D

All three should be fine together. Toss a piece of pvc in the tank for the snow flake and all should be fine.

I have pvc for all of them. The niger freaks if she can't hide at night.
