Is there any type of smaller sized eel thats good for. 32 gallon tank. Ive been looking at some other types of fish i could get. I also do not want it to hurt any of my other fish.

Current inhabitants:
2 clowns- relatively large
1 pj cardinal-large
3 conchs
3 large turbo snail
1 pencil urchin-medium

no. A 32 gallon tank is not appropriate for an eel of any size. Minimum size I would put any of the small eels in would be a 80 gallon. The smallest eels (that are readily available) are minimum 2 feet long

No, smallest eel thats readily available is 2 feet. Not appropriate for a 32 gallon. I have 4 eels in my 300 gallon. They come out and swim a lot at night and love to stretch out and swim. Cant do that in a 32..

Also theres really only one “dwarf” eel, its not in stock anywhere. The ones you can get are all minimum 2 feet. 3 of my eels are fully grown and very long. My 4th is a big eel

Okay ill skip eels until if i get a bigger tank. Are there any other unique types of creatures i can get if i dont get a starfish soon, ideas are welcome.

I 100% recommend a blenny! They are long and skinny and perch (to scratch the eel itch for now) and they have so much personality! This is my starry blenny who was in a 32 until I merged that tank with my big one. He is so cute!

Oh thats cool i used to have one actually, after that i learned that they do better in larger tanks, is that true?

Mine was fine. The only reason I moved him was because I shut down the tank because my corals just declined after doing well for a few months and I got frustrated. But he was just fine in my 32 gallon, he just perches.
