General information on Snowflake Eel
It's a very tough sea eel but also it's also an escape artist. A 50-gallon or bigger aquarium that has lots of live rock and a snug-fitting canopy is the best. A majority of the fish that go missing in aquariums are due to tanks that are not sealed properly. It could be kept with various invertebrates, such as corals, anemones sea urchins. Additionally, other aggressive fish like tangs, lionfish, and triggerfish are appropriate to be tankmates. Incorporating the same species into tanks is feasible only if they are introduced to the tank in the same manner and there is enough room and shelter. Smaller fish are more likely to be eaten by eels.
They are able to grow rapidly within a relatively short amount of time, which is why it's logical to buy tanks that are large at the beginning. A 50-gallon or bigger aquarium is required for snowflake eels' lives. Because they love to get into rocks, ensuring ample rock in your tanks will allow them to adjust to your tank. They also like caves.
Snowflake Eel Diet & Nutrition
The principal food sources that are found in the ocean include crustaceans such as krill, shrimp, and fish that can fit into their mouths. Lobsters and crabs are their main food source. In the wild, Snowflake Eel can be regarded as a nighttime predator that is known for its ambush of seafood and other crustaceans. In tanks, it will eat frozen or frozen-dried krill shrimp, fish, and most meaty food items that are packed with vitamins. It is possible to teach it to feed on its own but if carried out with caution. It is not advised because they can cause pain with a bite or have poor eyesight. Long tweezers, or tongs, are a good option for feeding them.
If they aren't already accustomed to frozen food the moray eel will likely require feeding in the form of live ghost shrimp. Do not feed them goldfish or the rosy reds since it can cause liver diseases.
