Tell me about your experiences with snowflake eels! I know all the basics like, escaping, size, etc., but I am especially interested in how they interacted with their tankmates. I know in nature they are not fish eaters, but that in the confines of a tank it happens sometimes, but I guess I am curious just how much of a risk it is. If it is almost for sure they will eater smaller tankmates, I may not do one, but if it is just a small risk I may try one, becasue to be honest I like them better than almost any other SW fish. Tankmates would include an Ocelleris clownfish, Caribbean redspotted hawkfish, large starry blenny, Coral Beauty, butterflyfish, Twospot Goby, and probably either a sixline wrasse or scooter dragonet. The eel I am considering is with a smallish (2-3in) wrasse in the tank at the store, and is probably about 15 inches.
My other question is that I have heard when they smell food and get in a feeding frenzy they will strike at anything, but that they are only supposed to be fed a couple times a week. How do you only feed them that often when other fish in the tank need to be fed every day? Won't they go searching for food every time you feed everyone else?
