Here's a pic of my new snowflake eel. The little guy is barely 6 inches :happyfish

 

[fishy head]

I don't see it :notsure:

 

[rykna]

LOL.....he's so tiny, that's his head stickking out of the rock. about right in the center of the circle.

 

[ginarox]

What have u used to keep him from escaping, I have a cover for my tank, but iut has an openingbecause of the filter, tht can be covered, are they good or reefs?

 

[reefeel]

Aww I remember when my snowflake was that small and innocent. Now he is 3 times the size I got him and a heathen.

 

[fedukeford]

i dont see anything?

 

[rykna]

LOL.....he is really hard to spot. All he will poke out is his head.
Right now the little guy is in a 45 gall corner tank. It has a glass lid on it that covers all but 1 in in the back for the filter.
The little guy is peeking out at me again...He keeps coccking his head as if to get a better view.

well if u have bad luck lemme no, also, would they be ok in a reef with very docile small fish(im guessing no)

 

[rykna]

Thankyou.
Well, the 90 gallon I have now is going to be his this spring. I just bought a sailfin tang and a yellow tang. So by spring I'll will have to upgrade the 90 for them.
I got some of the silvers for him....I like having a variety of food for my tanks. Cause man, if I had to eat the same thing everyday...YUCK!When he gets a little bigger I;ll take some more pic...so you can actually see him. LOL

i like to have a lot of different foods for mine too... about a dozen between all my tanks... i have mainly freshwater just starting salt...
my question: is it true that the snowflakes can get out and live for 24-48hours out of water... if so that would be a little scarey to wake up to...
