I got a Snowflake eel about a month ago. It's a very picky eater, and all it does is hide under a rock all the time. I suggest that if you do get one and are going to put it in with other fish, get one that has a mouth too small to catch your fish!! And you might want to consider doing what I do every day: I put it's food on the end of tongs and stick it down into the tank, and wave the food around until the eel comes out and grabs it. That way I don't have the problem that a lot of people have--the eel goes commando and eats all the fish in the tank. Mine likes to eat black tiger shrimp (the expensive kind I eat) and squid.
