Golden Dwarf Eel

Does anybody have experience with these guys? Besides a tight lid, anything special about these guys?

Stay small but can still eat small fish and inverts. some are super vibrant and some are pale in color. my fav "reef safe" eel.

I've never had an issue with them with fish. They can be shy when initially introduced. They LOVE clams on the half shell.

I got my pick of the litter. I chose the one with the deepest "gold" color.

I love the eyes. I don't know what you plan on feeding but try and stay away from silversides and krill.

They have a hint of blue in them too.
I was gonna try table shrimp, I feed silver sides, but I stuff em with pellets. Is that okay?

Can you get fresh fish? I was advised to stay away from silversides. Shrimp I was told as long as you soak in vitamins. The more varied of a diet the better.

Yeah, I've got a bunch of different fish in the freezer right now. Tuna, croaker and snapper. Will that do?

Small pieces and yes :) if you can ever get squid and octopus mix that in as well.

Mine took out a couple emerald crabs but that's it. I would stay away from silversides as you would be training it to go after fish. Table shrimp pieces soaked with selcon, clams in the halfshell, squid. Never tried krill.

 

[Mistborn]

Awesome, sounds good guys! I do indeed have a gallon bag of small frozen squid too.

@Mistborn how is your eel doing? Did he acclimate to your reef well? Eat anything he wasn't supposed to? What have you been able to feed him?

I ended up getting him to maybe eat a shrimp or silverside now and then. It was rather difficult to get him to eat. It didn't touch anything in my tank. I got pretty tired of having it be a total recluse and sold it to an lfs. He ended up jumping that night...

Aw... :( Too bad it didn't work out.
