The Snowflake Eel arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 60-gallon tank. The black and white pattern is striking and adds a unique touch. Water parameters are stable and the eel is easy to care for. Only needs occasional feeding and regular water checks.

Great addition to my marine tank. It’s not overly aggressive but does defend its space. I keep it in a well-planted tank with hiding spots. Water conditions are maintained as recommended. Slightly shy at first but now active.

Easy to maintain and visually appealing. The eel is active and curious. I’ve kept it for over six months with no issues. Tank size is sufficient, and water parameters stay within range. A good choice for intermediate aquarists.
