Snowflake Eel

[Sushiman]

I think habitat is the most important aspect of eel care. I've kept them in a standard set-up & in my current display that has a buried PVC tunnel for my two eels. What a difference. No escape attempts (unlike when I didn't give them a dedicated habitat), no destroyed aquascaping. I don't even bother with a cover on the tank anymore! These eels are very easy to feed; my snowflake & zebra like crab, shrimp, krill, clam, squid, silversides....MEAT.
I've heard of eels going on prolonged hunger strikes but have not experienced this first-hand. My boys are fed until satisfied 1-2X per week.
