Eels for Your Marine Aquarium
The Snowflake Eel is one of the most popular eel species for marine aquariums. Known for their distinctive appearance and fascinating behaviour, these eels can grow up to 60cm in your home aquarium, although they may grow a little larger in the wild. Eels tend to be shy, often hiding with only their head sticking out, waiting for feeding time. They are nocturnal predators and prefer to do most of their activity at night.
Nocturnal, Hardy, and Easy to Feed
Snowflake Eels are relatively easy to care for, but they are primarily carnivorous and require a diet consisting of frozen meaty foods and shrimp. They are known for their ability to adapt to commercial frozen foods. While they are fascinating to watch, it’s important to handle them with caution, as they have a powerful bite, especially if they feel threatened. Be sure to provide them with plenty of hiding spots, as they prefer a secure, dark environment during the day.
