New snowflake eel

Thatfishboy · Mar 1, 2015

So I got this new freshwater snowflake eel and he is about ten inches
The smallest fish I have in the tank is five, two inch corie cats but hey are really at so it will probably take a while for the eel to grow big enough to eat them. I'm going to try to keep the eel in full freshwater
I have a 125 gallon tank
I was just wondering
Growth rate
Food
Tank ate advice
Max size and just general information that I may or may not have known
Thanks in advance😃

I would not recommend keeping this Moray in freshwater, you are asking for trouble. For a few months you'll be fine, in the long run you will be plagued with disease. They aren't freshwater fish, they only migrate into freshwater temporarily. They need brackish in the long term. Your Corys may be in trouble, even if they aren't consumed, they may start showing bite marks.

Which kind of salt would u recommend? Marine or aquarium salt

I kept my "freshwater moray eel" (Gymnothorax-tile) in fresh when i first got it, they will barely eat. I moved it to brackish water aquarium of 1.009 slowly using *Instant Ocean* salt and it now thrives and swims up to my fingers taking cut frozen-thawed shrimp pieces (be careful not to get bit, they have poor eyesight) .

Use marine salt and keep the salinity at a minimum of 1.008ppm but from my experience they have been the healthiest and grown fastest in a full marine setup

The salt will affect all of your catfish

Yep, especially angelfish will have big Problems with it.

The salt will probably kill everything but the swordtails. Plus the eel will prey upon them at some point

Strictly saltwater set-up! (acclimate first.)
