okay, i have a 10 inch snowflake eel in my tank now...what can i add as far as tank mates go? also, how suseptable are snowflake eels to ich? how often should i feed her (she has eaten everyday for the past 4 days) and other than frozen shrimp, should i try to offer freeze dried krill and frozen shrimp as well as some silversides?

what size tank is it? lions do pretty well and tanks and fox faces, pretty much anything that wont try to eat it or be eaten itself, they also don't do well with crustaceans.
yes do the krill and silversides as well.

Im pretty sure tank is too small even for the eel on its own unless you got a new one. Get a bigger tank or get smaller fish or you will have the same trouble you had last time.
sorry i havent been able to get on in awhile....
tank is 29 gallons. I was going to get a bigger one for my birthday in june, but my mom says that the bigger tank is going to have to wait until we move into our new house in like 4 or 5 months, then i will be upgrading to a 55 gallon.

a snowflake should do fine in a 29 gallon for now. put some pvc pipes in there. eels really like those and it keeps them calm. I wouldn't worry about the snowflake eating its tankmates, theyre pretty docile. but if you want to add other fish you should probably get the 55.
