    From my experience with aggressive tanks eels are not the best choice but maybe a baby lion or dwarf lion,Fu man Chu, or maybe smaller puffers, stars and stipes, or dwarf angles. If you want a lot of agresdive fish.
    Or you can do triggers, groupers, hawk fish, lions, angels, snappers, larger puffer but not to Many fish as they do produce a lot of wast and they will eventually get to big for the tank.
    And the reason I say eels are a bad choice is because nothing can compete with them if the eel gets hungry for tank mates. I dont have experience with snow flakes but the larger ones, green, tesellated, white mouth all are killers.

    Get a little Fu Man Chu Lion or something cool like that.. Then you could add a couple anthias, maybe a small puffer, a flame hawk..
