snow flake eel... i had 3 in a 75 with a 10 inch oscar.

I think these get around 10" to 1'

I thought snow flake eels could only live in saltwater

 

[fishman61]

is it an absolute requirement for an eel to have a sand bed instead of gravel?

liveaquaria.com says minimum for both the tire-track/fire eel is 50gallon and they should do fine until they get closer to 2feet, i've seen them on youtube in 50's and 75's doing really good, the smaller spieces are peacock, zigzag and if you can find the spiny eels from africa i dont think they get that big either and they definitely look the best even better than the fire eel in my opinion

ehh i dont agree with some info on liveaquaria.com but a peackock eel and zig zag would do well in a 55. at petsmart they run for about 7 dollars

they are referring to Gymnothorax tile nor Echidna nebulosa (THE snowflake moray). Either way G. tile is not a pure FW fish either

The problem generally is finding one of these beauties. I have my LFS always trying to get any of the african lake eels for me. Haven't had the opportunity to get one yet
