Yes no? I am thinking of getting one for my 40. Just wondering if its going to eat all my damsels, wrasse, and goby... :study:

probably not... i've seen them with cowfish!

~ocean

Oh wow. What species? That makes me feel so much better. .

I've seen them with camel cowfish...

~ocean

Ah a very docile species if i remember correctly.

yes...

~ocean

Haha. .

The ghost eel is a very gentle species too...

~ocean

Well i have seen videos of them eating other eel like fish. Most of my fish (fire goby and wrasse) are small tube shaped and i don't want them to get eaten. I was thinking of just waiting for them to reach their full size before getting one.

good idea!

Yeah. This is probably going to be a fish for my 90 though since i want a papuan puffer and leopard eel first .

That'd be fine

~ocean

Do you have much experience with eels?

yes, i have 2 tanks with eels, 3 if the FW eel counts as a eel. I have 1 peacock eel (fw) and snowflake morays and white eye morays...

~ocean

Wow. You should start thread on your tank in the tropical marine forum! How old are your snowflakes.

ones 1 and 3 quarters of a year and one 2 years and a bit... they all are very peacful. I handfeed them

Wow thats nice. Do you have pictures?

no... they are very sly and come out blured in my camera (a kodak... not so good)

Oh thats to bad. What do you keep with them?

some triggers and other damselfish and some others...

They show no aggression? I know that they start out invert eaters but once they change from female to male (which happens as they age) they turn into fish eaters.

no aggresion... I train them to be peaceful...

How did you that?

I use my net of death to threaten them...

Oh wow. So they learned . At least it worked.
