i got a snowflake eel

[BlackShark11k]

but he jumped out of the bag i was acclimating him in and now hes hiding...

how active are these guys anyways? should i expect to see him much or will he be hiding most of the time?

what kinda diet is best for them too? right now i have some marine pellets, thinking about getting the NLS marine stuff too. im guessing they take pellets alright?

Will be shy at first. Atleast until 6-12 inches, thats when he will really come out. He should always have his head poking out somewhere. Try hand feeding, and i doubt he will ever take pellets. Try frozen krill or smelt. Octopus works good too.


After you hand feed him for a bit and and he grows comfortable, when your other fish feed he should come to the top for his hand feedings.

You should try hand feeding. I hand feed all my eels, including the green. Now everytime i walk by the tank they come up to the top of the tank and beg.

ah cool, thanks for the info. i will definitely work on hand feeding. this guy looks to be around 9-10'' or so. heres a more random question, how do these guys do as far as mixing multiple eels in one tank?

very laid back. A group of 4 snowflakes is always cool. Saw a tank with about 10 of them all at the bottom with tangs in the middle. Coolest snowflake tank ever.
