Snowflake eel

Well. I ended up with a snowflake eel. It’s a juvenile about 12”-18”. Please be a good aquarist and have some knowledge about eels. Pick up in San Francisco Richmond district. Supporting members only.

You aren’t going to keep it? Our snowflake, named Shampoo, provides endless amusement. I had worried it might try and eat the smaller fish, then I fed it for the first time and well …. I just hope in the wild it was a more effective predator. That being said I think he has picked off some of my cleanup crew.

I’m on the fence. I never had an eel before. Except a Hawaiian eel 25 years ago. That’s when they were cheap. But that was in a fowlr with big fish. I’m worried it might eat my Colin’s angel. He’s a little guy.

Try feeding your snowflake a silverside. I practically have to bump him on the nose three or four times before he successfully grabs it. I haven’t lost any small fish to our eel in the six months we’ve had him.
