Snowflake is in the house!

[slowhemi]

Ok so for you guys that wanted to see a snowflake eel in my tank. Well I got one last night. Soon as my light comes on I will try to get a pic of it!

So now that I have it what do I feed it? and how much do I feed it?

I would say it is 1 inch wide and 1 foot long.

any kind of raw meaty food: market shrimp, squid, fish, and probably just about anything that you offer.....including his tank mates

He's still got some growing to do but he should be good.

I saw a almost fry like Snowflake at the LFS yesterday. He was about 2-3" long and about as thick as a pencil lead.

Great looking snowflake. I like all the white it has. Mine has really large black patches and seems to be turning grey between the patches.
Be sure to feed it a varied menu. A few pieces of meaty foods, probably every other day or every three days.

You might want to cover the tank opening too.

YUUUHHH! Ill have to tell my girlfriend you got one!

he wont be able to get out. They use the corners as leverage to get out. It looks like you euro bracing , he shouldnt be able to get out.

Hand feed him everything at the asian market. Hand feeding him will make a good bond between you and him. That way everytime you come up to the tank he will be happy to see you and swim around for you requesting food.

I hand feed mine silversides and squid. You're going to need a bigger tank when that gets bigger. Mine is 2 feet long and still growing.
