snowflake eel

Hello all, as a preface I’d like to inform yall that I’m peeking into the proverbial world of saltwater aquariums and more specifically the eel I want to house in one. I have no experience with anything aquarium related, hence the inquiry. However my situation is unqiue and has its limitations...

Hey everyone Just want to get some second opinions on my planned stock list. So far I have a Sharptail Snake Eel and Sailfin Tang sharing a 125 gallon mixed reef with large rock arch, and the tank has a 55 gallon sump. So far so good with the eel and tang, however I added my longspine black...

Hi all, about 6 weeks ago I had a major ich outbreak and had to quarantine and treat everyone. Two fish plus the eel survived and are now out of quarantine waiting in a 30 gallon tank to go back to their regular home after enough time has passed. The eel has always been finicky and really would...

I was reading some online about the lifespan of the California round stingrays and saw one person only keeping them alive for 3 years and others speculated it was due to him keeping his temperatures at mid to high 70. I keep mine at mid to high 70s as well since I don’t have a chiller. Does...

I just got a round ray that needed better home conditions currently in a 200ish gallon tank she’s pretty small for now so will try to get a bigger home very shortly anyway the problem is since adding her my snowflake eel will not eat he is too stressed and scared. Also cuz when I try to put the...

So i bought a snowflake eel on Friday looking good exploring the tank and so on then woke up today and saw his tail tried to feed him for the first time by putting a tiny bit of prawn near him and i was wondering why it doesnt wanna eat next thing I touch the tail slightly no movement then pick...

I’ve owned this snowflake eel for about 4 years. This morning I found him on the floor still wet which I’m assuming is mucus, but there was a strange red spot next to him that appeared to be blood. I immediately put him back in and he’s just been sitting on the bottom of the tank slightly moving...

My snowflake eel seems to be acting odd. Normally he’s pretty active, but as of now he is just kind of hanging out of the rock he normally lives in, but doesn’t move much. Also seems to be on a hunger strike, hasn’t eaten any of the food I’ve given him the past few days. Ive recently removed all...

Hello - I wanted to introduce myself. I'm out of Mission Viejo, California. I've got a 150G salt tank with Moray Eel's (Tessallota, Yellowhead, Banded Snake Eel, and 2 Snowflakes). The tank is getting to be too small for all the eels so I've ordered a 400G with 100G sump. The tank is gonna be...

Hi, So my father is currently trying to treat an eel in a quarantine tank. At first he was put in there to monitor his eating because he wouldn't take food from him and now he's being treated for an infection because his gills are showing red coloration. His gills weren't red when he was first...

I’m building a new tank. I’m wondering how deep of a Sand bed I need for a snowflake eel and if I should use pvc pipes or just rock work. Also what fish can I keep with one. I know I’m tangs, copperband butter fly and a wrasse. My question is can you keep anthias with them and diamond goby and...

Just got a new snowflake eel 2 days ago and tried feeding it cut up fresh grouper fillet but it isn’t interested at all. Its a decent sized one over a foot long and thick as a thumb. I read they wont eat when new to a tank but the other 2 snowflakes i had before ate the same day i got them. Any...

I am currently setting up a 50 gal FOWLR tank and was thinking about getting a snowflake eel. I’ve done some research on which fish are compatible but I was wondering if there were any recommendations on what tank mates and how many would be appropriate for that size tank?

So! I'm one of those people that tried to keep a snowflake with fish, and while it's worked out so far. I'm slowly starting to see her get nippy towards fish on feeding day so when I move my fish and coral to my new tank, she is going to stay in the 4pg cube until I find a suitable new tank...

I'm planning on getting a snowflake eel, but I know they are notorious for escaping/jumping and my tank doesn't have a lid. I was planning on making my own custom lid with very narrow cutouts for wires and equipment. For those of you that have a snowflake eel, does the lid need to be latched...

I just got a red tooth niger trigger fish about 5 days ago and added it to my 125gal tank with my porcupine puffer and snowflake eel. They are all juvenile still so that’s why they are in a “smaller” tank. Anyway I noticed over the past few days that my trigger will randomly twitch very fast to...

Hi, I’m wanting to get a baby snowflake eel for my 75 gallon tank. It has a secure lid and I’m making caves for him. The only issue is that my substrate is about 50% crushed coral and 50% sand. I’ve read that crushed coral can get an eel stuck in the sand or be difficult to burrow in. Will 50%...
