my snowflake eel wraps itself around my wrist when i feed it
Eww fuk that
I have one (snowflake eel) its about 6 inches. I keep it in a Nano Cube 28g. Its doing just fine for now. When it gets bigger I plan to catch it and trade that sucker in. I bought it because I thought it would be cool to have. IT IS!
He's like come on, feed me!
Hes is cute! I love sf eels! ❤
Some morays labeled as freshwater such as the "Freshwater Snowflake Eel" - Gymnothorax tile that are really young saltwater or brackish eels. They are born in freshwater or brackish and make their way to sea by the time they are mature, in the wild. This is why these eels will always die long before they should in freshwater. They should gradually be acclimated to salt as they grow because their homeostatic needs change to a marine environment, regardless if they are in fresh or salt water.
That tank is a 40gl cube but I would suggest a 75gl minimum for one full grown and a 90gl or larger if you plan to put other fish in. They can get up to 3ft and as big around as pop cans but 2-2.5ft is more common and not quite that thick. I've had mine for about 3 years and it has grown from the size in the video to about 2.5ft and now goes after cocktail shrimp like they were those krill. It currently live in a 150gl with an Emperor Angel, Cowfish, and Burrfish.
Actually, she is NOT jumping out of water...
I know right. i wanted to put other fish in with him originally but now i think it would just be an expensive dinner for him
I had one and it slithered out of the tank when i was at work came back 8 hrs later my room smells like rotten fish and i find this guy on the floor dry and still alive lol gave him abit of a clean and went back into my tank before selling it off to my friend

I'd watch out he doesn't jump out if there's no lid- Eels are known for escaping- Ususally they will escape in the first few weeks if they are going to but I have talked to people who have had them for 2 years+ and then all the sudden it jumped and died!
NIce eel though- I plan on getting one soon!
Snowflake ell is very safe and cool . I have one but it was jumping out of tank and die I don’t know why? I got it when it was a little .
I do love eels
Specially smoked
Just a word to the wise: goldfish and many other freshwater fish are often host to numerous internal parasites which can infest marine fish. Also, regular feedings of freshwater "feeders" can result in liver damage in many predatory species. You've got a beautiful home set up for your snowflake. Enjoy him!
Wow! Saltwater undergravel filter!
Uh he can slither out
If you can breed throwaway guppies, that works amazingly well for a "feeder" as they are pseudo-saltwater fish and are cleaner than goldfish.
I really want to get a pet snowflake eel
@TheMysteryman334 Yea, you could keep it in the 20 gallon! When it starts to get too big maybe 6 or 7 months later, trade it in for another one and start all over...
@xtremecards How big is your eel? I think a 29gl would be pretty tight spaces for a full grown snowflake. Mine has plenty of room to come out and swim around the tank at night or during a feeding because its a 120gl. Mine would have trouble turning around in a 29gl.
Not at all. That tank was only a 40gl. Probably took 20-30mins to do a water change (I think that's what you're talking about). The 150gl he is in now takes about an hour to change, though
@Warriorsoakstar Not for long. That is a 40gl tank and the eel was just a baby. I'd say it needs at least a 75gl for life
Actually, there aren't; morays are exclusively marine fish. They can survive in freshwater for limited periods of time, but it's extremely hard on their renal organs since they can't properly regulate the osmotic composition of their intracellular and interstitial tissues. Whatever you had was not a moray (member of the Muraenidae family). Whoever gave you your information was misinformed or intentionally misled you.
that's how I feed my eel
Yes man Roman
@xmazz31x You could keep one in there for a a year or so I'd say. The tank in the video is a 40gl. Mine has gotten to about 2' + since I posted this and now lives in a 120gl but there are other fish with it. I have a couple other videos of him in his new setup on my profile
@TheMysteryman334 Snowflake is about the smallest moray you can get
I recommend freshwater and you can keep fire ells and black ghost nife fish just not together hope this helped and + if your in Houston I recommend going to city pets
"feeders can result in liver damage in many predatory species. "
+1
..you keep telling yourself that...
I wouldnt train him to do that cause then when hes hungry he might out of the water looking for food
Ha. Yeah, you have to watch your fingers when you're around his cave
I hand feed mine so he dont come up and hop out the tank lol
I've fed it goldfish as the occasional treat. Not really ideal as a main source of food because it wouldn't be eating freshwater fish in the wild and saltwater fish are too expensive to be used as food.
@TheMysteryman334 Not for life. I would suggest a 55gl minimum for a full grown snowflake. I keep mine in a 120gl with 3 other fish. Wet/Dry filters are great. I made my own Wet/Dry filter / sump out of a 55gl.
@Naz618 No it is a marine eel. There are no real freshwater morays.
may i ask what are you feeding him?
@MemorysMystic I know. I caught it on adult eel finder the other night
@jlalonde1000 There is a lid and it has not gotten out ever. Lives in a 120gl now and have never had any trouble. I had one briefly before this one that found a way out about 5 times in a week and eventually I wasn't around to put it back in. This one has never tried to get out to my knowledge. Some of it must depend on the specific eel's personality.
That was sliversides and krill but he has grown alot since them and he is eating cocktail shrimp. I'm thinking of posting an update vid
my store has a little guy maybe 4 or 6 inches, could i keep him in a 20 gallon for life with a power head, live rock on one side of the tank (and a few rocks with holes in them) what filter would you suugest ?
Actually there are, i hve had a few
i dont see a lid has he got out yet
@rarol2122 Have you seen bigger tank lolz the water is find and so is the eel :D
nm, I can see you have a good lid- what are you feeding him?
@chivaskyogre It's a 40gl cube
lolol, no not in that way man, i meant literally once youve got him out how do you get all the water out, it must take atleast 5 hourse
@chorizo1337 That's why you need a tight weighted lid
no way
@xmazz31x You could keep one in there for a a year or so I'd say. The tank in the video is a 40gl. Mine has gotten to about 2' + since I posted this and now lives in a 120gl but there are other fish with it.
does he eat anything youve put in like CuC etc?
also, what do u do when u have to work in the tank? wear elbow high rubber gloves or?
@loadingerrokik 150 liters
jumped?
Mine dose this to 8)
soz for a reaction again but what is the size of the tank ?
What are you feeding him?
Frozen krill & silversides
@@TheSeanothon is it expensive and where can you buy it?
@@jellybro4133 you should be able to get it at most larger pet shops for around $10
how do you clean that tank man.?
Very carefully
what do you use to keep him in the tank
hoeveel liter is die bak ?
@TheSeanothon dang /: i want an eel just one trhat doesnt get like 2 feet long..
@cerv707 is that sarcasm cause i cant tell over youtube :/
what can the eel be fed and how often do you feed it?
ashish nambiar, eels eat fish, crabs, shrimp, squid etc. They don’t seem terribly particular. I don't know how often they need to be fed though.
@notreallyfamous 40gl.
I recommend freshwater and you can keep fire ells and black ghost nife fish just not together hope this helped and + if your in Houston I recommend going to city pets
Ashley Luna where do in houston is city pets?
Ashley Luna Yeah, but no freshwater for this eel. Besides, both types are great, it just depends on what you like
