snowflake eel help

[leftyblite]

I'm considering getting a snowflake eel for my tank. I've got the egg crate to stop all exits that is being installed this weekend. I have a 150G tank with a foxface, blue tang, flame angel, and a dwarf lion. I read on another website that it is better to get a juvenile eel as they are more docile and easier to feed. Is this true???

I want to know before I get one as the LFS near me has snowflakes in different sizes.

with enough live rocks, it shouldnt be a problem with it jumping. i used to hv one in my 150 b4 i traded it in. they r messy eaters. once u drop food in, they will go crazy sniffing it out. they also grow fairly fast. mine grew from 6 inches to 18 in a year.

Just be sure that it's easting at your LFS. I'd get a small one b/c it's fun to watch them grow.

I was thinking of a small one just for that reason. I'm just trying to make sure that it will survive in my tank.
