So i bought a snowflake eel on Friday looking good exploring the tank and so on then woke up today and saw his tail tried to feed him for the first time by putting a tiny bit of prawn near him and i was wondering why it doesnt wanna eat next thing I touch the tail slightly no movement then pick...

I’ve owned this snowflake eel for about 4 years. This morning I found him on the floor still wet which I’m assuming is mucus, but there was a strange red spot next to him that appeared to be blood. I immediately put him back in and he’s just been sitting on the bottom of the tank slightly moving...

My snowflake eel seems to be acting odd. Normally he’s pretty active, but as of now he is just kind of hanging out of the rock he normally lives in, but doesn’t move much. Also seems to be on a hunger strike, hasn’t eaten any of the food I’ve given him the past few days. Ive recently removed all...

Hello - I wanted to introduce myself. I'm out of Mission Viejo, California. I've got a 150G salt tank with Moray Eel's (Tessallota, Yellowhead, Banded Snake Eel, and 2 Snowflakes). The tank is getting to be too small for all the eels so I've ordered a 400G with 100G sump. The tank is gonna be...

Hi, So my father is currently trying to treat an eel in a quarantine tank. At first he was put in there to monitor his eating because he wouldn't take food from him and now he's being treated for an infection because his gills are showing red coloration. His gills weren't red when he was first...

I’m building a new tank. I’m wondering how deep of a Sand bed I need for a snowflake eel and if I should use pvc pipes or just rock work. Also what fish can I keep with one. I know I’m tangs, copperband butter fly and a wrasse. My question is can you keep anthias with them and diamond goby and...

Just got a new snowflake eel 2 days ago and tried feeding it cut up fresh grouper fillet but it isn’t interested at all. Its a decent sized one over a foot long and thick as a thumb. I read they wont eat when new to a tank but the other 2 snowflakes i had before ate the same day i got them. Any...

I am currently setting up a 50 gal FOWLR tank and was thinking about getting a snowflake eel. I’ve done some research on which fish are compatible but I was wondering if there were any recommendations on what tank mates and how many would be appropriate for that size tank?

So! I'm one of those people that tried to keep a snowflake with fish, and while it's worked out so far. I'm slowly starting to see her get nippy towards fish on feeding day so when I move my fish and coral to my new tank, she is going to stay in the 4pg cube until I find a suitable new tank...

I'm planning on getting a snowflake eel, but I know they are notorious for escaping/jumping and my tank doesn't have a lid. I was planning on making my own custom lid with very narrow cutouts for wires and equipment. For those of you that have a snowflake eel, does the lid need to be latched...

I just got a red tooth niger trigger fish about 5 days ago and added it to my 125gal tank with my porcupine puffer and snowflake eel. They are all juvenile still so that’s why they are in a “smaller” tank. Anyway I noticed over the past few days that my trigger will randomly twitch very fast to...

Hi, I’m wanting to get a baby snowflake eel for my 75 gallon tank. It has a secure lid and I’m making caves for him. The only issue is that my substrate is about 50% crushed coral and 50% sand. I’ve read that crushed coral can get an eel stuck in the sand or be difficult to burrow in. Will 50%...

Hi everyone! I’ve loved aquariums pretty much my whole life, and I’ve always wanted a saltwater tank (I’ve only done freshwater till now) so I finally caved and set up a biocube to test the water. I’ve taken care of other aquariums for the past 3 years and my new job is all aquatics. I know...

Hello everyone, My long term goal is to have either a snowflake eel or a zebra eel in my 135 gallon FOWLR tank (Reefer 625). I like that the zebra eel is reef safe compared to the snowflake eel, but I'd also like to see it's head pop out once in a while not just around feeding time. For those...

Hello all! I am trying to find a new home for an absolutely stunning snowflake eel, and will most likely cry like a baby when he leaves but that’s a seperate issue (haha) I’ve had this guy for 1.5 years and absolutely love him but he needs a bigger home. I am absolutely not selling him to anyone...

I have a snowflake eel and I believe he has external roundworms attached to him! We were using prazi pro but they haven’t touched these critters on my snowflake eel! Seems like they have multiplied now and started out teeny tiny and are gradually getting bigger. They are stringy brown worms with...

Hello, I started my second tank today, a 20g long saltwater tank, and want to dedicate it to a snowflake eel. A lfs has a 4”-6” snowflake eel and was wondering if this sized aquarium would be an okay sized for the eel for about 6 months tops. Gonna be putting up our 90g in the summer sometime...

So yesterday I found out my royal gramma has ich unfortunately. It didn’t look to be a bad case of it and he is still eating and breathing well. Not sure how he got it but things happen I guess. I don’t currently have a quaretiene setup right now but I was planning on turning a spare 20 gallon...
