A snowflake needs atleast 55 gal
There are any number of eels that can be in a 55 and a SF isn`t one of them.
The blackedge moray comes in second after the yellowhead and still people need to be aware of their aggressive feeding habits for even that right now you think that your blackedge is an equal to the yellowhead, it wouldn't have a chance to hold its own in a battle with one, for that is what it means for when i said it comes in second after the yellowhead for as well, the yellowhead can take in a fish far more large then anyone might believe it could.
Both eels will bite at anything they can near too for even if they cannot swallow down the victim, they still will kill it because they are hungry. The blackedge eel grows a little larger then the yellowhead, for the yellowhead grows to 32" and the blackedge grows just under 40" at 38-39"
Eels are prone to jumping out whenever they can, and they will bite if given an opportunity. From what I hear, eel bites are not fun.
First for any eel to want to bite you, it would depend much on the moray species one has for such as your blackedge eel, it as well as the yellowhead would attempt to remove your skin if not fingers, but this idea not set right with all eels and that the majority of them will only bite if provoked or if you put your hand into their home. Not even the tess or the green moray will attack unless they were provoked into attacking for you can be right in the path they be swimming and would swim right pass you with you pissing your pants.
I had the pressure to had petted many a green morays as well as the giant moray and they are very docile creatures, but can however cause much serious damage to one they attack which is at most one would heard is their hand were bitten only in which was because they placed their hand in a rock work were they lived, but they not came out to finish off the invader of their home which means they will only battle if and when have too.
So, I would not recommend adding an eel to your tank, unless you are willing to let that eel be the primary occupant.
You are one of any n umber of people who selected either the blackedge or yellowhead morays, do not judge all eels a like to those two.
