What eel?

Hi, I was wondering what eel is the best to get out of a snowflake, achainlink, or a zebra eel? How big do they get, etc.

Hi, these are all great eels, they are all hardy. I would go with a snowflake they are great looking, stay small, and aren't that aggressive. But if you want some info heres some info I know. Snowflake eels are small in size (compared to other eels), it is easily compatible with other fish as long as the fish are not small enough to get eaten. Snowflake eels get to about 30 in. in length.
The zebra moray is my favorite and i'm going to add one in my 220 when I get it. Lets back to the eel, Zebra morays are a little slower than other eels, it adapts to captivity realy well, and they have been known to live up to 20 YEARS!
Chainlink morays are nice little eels, they get about 24 in. in length, and are just a little meaner than snowflakes, but are peaceful. It's up to you really. But what size tank would it be going in? The 55 or the 250 gallon? If it would be the 55 gallon, I would go with the snowflake or chainlink. If it's the 250, i'd go with these three eels, you listed. There are other eels that you can get instead, but may be meaner, or may get a lot bigger. I would go with these three great eels.

It'll be going in the 250. I think i'll go with the zebra eel. Thankyou.

My vote would be for the snowflake, mine is very active, always all over the tank, but in a tank that large a zebra would work really well. Good Luck

If your getting an eel for a 250 you might want to think about a tesseleta there really cool looking.

Tesselated eels are from what I've heard mean mean fish, not to mention the price. So in a 250 gallon tank, I would get a zebra. Sure chainlinks and snowflakes are really cool, but in tank that size, you want it to be big.
