Snowflake eel good or bad idea?

[Jvesche20]

I went to my LFS and saw they had a small snowflake eel. I currently have 2 smaller clowns and one large one that’s hosting an anemone, 2 blue tangs one is 3 years old and another is 2 inches, diamond goby, blenny, yellow tang, sailfin tang, damsel, and a pistol shrimp along with 2 anemones and some corals. Would this be a good idea to get one? Will it kill my fish?

It will be an interesting race to see who grows fast enough to not be dinner.

Maybe with 1/2 to full size triggers, otherwise you will likely have a very well fed eel.

If it is hand(tong) fed and only eats from the tongs and you power feed it like a snake you want to grow huge quickly, maybe ( still fighting nature).

Ours ate silversides and an occasional damsel.
Made it to 23" in 6 years.
18" in 3 years.

Lol, separate tank.

My snow flake more than doubled in size in a year. If you want an eel for that tank consider a dwarf golden eel. They stay small enough to mix with clowns and damsels if well fed

I guess it's just me but I feel that predators belong with predators. The Golden Dwarf Moray could work but good luck finding one and it's ridiculously expensive in the $500-$600 range. :eek:
