And with the lack of size of the F8 its only a matter of time till the eel see's him as food

You could get a used 20-29g setup on Craigslist for scratch and I bet in Miami they are cheaper than here in OH. If the F8 had his own tank you could add a few bumblebee gobies as tankmates...BBGs are awesome little fish that are a hoot to watch.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

+1 to setting up his own tank. I doubt he is shy prob just in fear of his life
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
