    Nice! I just got a baby snowflake eel for my tank the other day, he's about 4-5 inches long and maybe as thick as a sharpie marker. I fed him by hand the first night, was so cool :)

    What do you feed Snowflake eel"s?
    And do they come out in the day?

    I've only had mine a couple days so far but the first night he ate krill np at all. I've noticed him mostly out at night but this morning when I fed my fish he popped out looking to grab a bite.

    Let's see I've had my snowflake for about 3-4 weeks, he is about 5-6 inches long and is quite the little pit-bull. He basically chills under the rock most of the day, but whenever i do maintenance or water testing (or anything that disturbs the water) he is all about checking to see what's happening in HIS tank!
    He is more active then my Gymnothorax tile especially during the day, but I've learned that they are quite inquisitive and will investigate whenever you are near the tank.
    I feed silver sides and Pep. Shrimp (sorry to shrimp lovers out there) until they are full, every 3 days. Eels are sooo messy so i try to feed less often, but with more food.
