Snowflake Eel

Scientific Name: Echidna nebulosa
Reef Compatibility: With Caution

Minimum Tank Size: 50 gal

Max Size: 24”

Food/Feeding: Carnivore

Approximate Purchase Size: 8 to 12 inches

Notes: This is a very hardy eel, but an escape artist. A 50 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of live rock and a tightly fit canopy is ideal. Most of the eels that are lost in an aquarium are due to poorly sealed tanks. The Snowflake Eel is safe to house with any fish it cannot easily swallow. It can be housed with some invertebrates, like anemones and corals, but not crustaceans.
The wild Snowflake Eel is a nocturnal predator, ambushing fish and crustaceans. In the tank, it will take frozen or freeze-dried krill, fish, shrimp, and most meaty foods. It can be taught to hand feed, although this should be done with caution, as it can inflict a painful bite.

Teacher

I received this snowflake eel a couple of weeks ago. Good and healthy and has taken up his residence very well. I feed the eel krill and has been great in finding the food. Great choice! BTW, I have had a snowflake eel in the past and they do sooo well. Just make sure that your tank is covered and cannot escape. But if they do they can last awhile on the floor. I had one eel get out and thought it had died, the skin was dried, so I was surprised when it started moving. Threw it back in and it did well

Love!

This is the best online retailer I have ordered from. The communication is top notch and my eel arrived happy and safe. Have already ordered a second item from here. Debbie even added my to my order last second so I could avoid a second shipping charge.

The eel is awesome. She eats frozen krill readily. I purchased some live grass shrimp just in case, but they have been spared.
