Thanks I love that eel too. I was very hesitant about getting him for a few reasons. First they are expensive, which led to my other concerns. They only get 12" max, thought my fish would eat him. All the fish are scared of him. Also I was told they are very reclusive and you would never see him. Mine is the complete opposite. Soon as food hits the water this eel is all over the place, much like a snowflake is. Unfortunately my snowflake acts like my dwarf moray and never shows his face. My dwarf eel is definately one of my favorites. My girlfriend says, "it looks like a big worm, how could you like that thing". I just laugh, one of the many who just doesn't get it!! Tim
