Snowflake Eel eating?

[stratton]

And yes, they do better in saltwater. All of the freshwater morays I had, I eventually moved them to saltwater. They tend to live a lot longer if you convert them.

i just bought a snow flake moray ell yesterday. i got him in the tank late last night and i tried to feed him this morning but he didn't even seem interested in the goldfish i put in there. I've tried both dead and alive but nothing. is this normal? should i just wait till he looks for food?

wow this thread strated long ago...

But I will add, When I got mine he was about... 6inches if that, now he is 16" Well not even 10 minutes in the tank I put a peice of squid in front of him and BAM! all gone.. lol Mine LOVES squid. You all ahould try it is you havnt. Yeah they didnt tell me till after I bought him that he will need brackish and what not. So he went from fresh, to brackish, to salt.

My buddy had one for a 6 months untill the aquarium heater malfunctioned, with a little bit of aquarium salt, and the eel always seemed to be healthy They seem to do well on live feeders as well, and his preferred to eat at night. I would say keeping a hiding place is essential, his spent most of the time in it but when he got real hungry he would just come out and sit there waiting for feeders. As far as finding them in New York or not, I guess it just depends on where, in terms of PA, OH, and western NY I have only seen them for sale twice. Good luck, they are cool fish.

Guppy, I would actually disagree with you, the "freshwater" snowflake moray doesn't do well in fresh water (they get pretty sick and die usually), they do best in mid to high brackish or full marine
