snowflake and angels

[bots44]

i just ordered a smallsnowflake eel, will my 5 angelfish (emporer,rock beauty, coral beauty and powder tang) have any problem with him?

I had a snow flake eel and it was extremly agressive when feeding time came. The eel does not have good eye sight so it flys around the tank biting on anything that is edible. Once he latched on to my puffer because my puffer is a messy eater. I had to physically pull him off. You will be fine until your eel grows bigger but then I would make sure the eel is feed before all other fish so it doesn't go in search for anything else to grab a hold of!

Do you know snowflakes can reach 36"?

dear clayton,
I heard that snowflake eels can reach over 39 inches in the wild, but dont reach more than 24 in captivity.

It depends on their conditions, they can reach full size if kept well. They look great but can get a bit ferocious!!
