Pretty much ignore each other. Eel hides most of the time. 15g is too small for an eel though. Also be sure to research the adult size of your froggie.

Have picked up my frogfish. One awesome fella just looks like a 6" creamy white sponge. photos to follow
Believe it or not, I saw a frogfish here at a local pet store being sold in a freshwater tank. It even has a pleco inside the tank.
Its being sold for 250 pesos each (less than 5 U.S. Dollars)
Anyway, I think frogfish can withstand the brackish setting only for a limited amount of time but not permanently. Its still a marine fish.

He is about 7 inches and has settled in well. The only other animals I have in with him is a large Bristle Star and some small hermit vrabs to help clean up afetr him
What is the best place on-line to find a red or orange frogfish? Our LFS only has pink and yellow.
I have kept 3 different species of Frogfish in the past and I found that they are extremely easy to get on non-live foods. I think that most people who say otherwise are probably just throwing the food in and letting it sink or are trying to feed with their hands which the fish will shy away from. Just get a package of wooden skewers (for BBQ-ing shishkebobs and such) and use them to stick feed thawed silversides or krill. This keeps your hand out of sight and you can move the food around in a life-like fashion without displacing a large amount of water. All my frogs (and Mantis shrimp) have fed voraciously with this method with no "training" required. Good luck and 30gallons is big enough unless you have one of the larger two species. A good book to read is Reff Fishes Vol. 1 by Scott W. Micheal. It has a large section on frogfish with many photos.
I could be mistaken but I believe there is only one species of frogfish that can live in brackish known as the Estuarine Frogfish. Can't remember the scientific name though.
