    A local reefer needs to get rid of these fish asap i told him ill take them saturday.

    Any one had one before? i had a snowflake eel in my 75 reef with no problems before and im thinking i might put the snow in the 180


    Dont know to much about the chain link eel, worst case i throw him in my 100 gallon fuge for the time being until i set up the 150.


    Any suggestions would be great!!

    be careful.. I've had a few eels in the past including a few snowflakes.. I had a 3' foot long snowflake in my 55g. and when I put another type of eel in there it went into the snowflakes hole.. well after fighting, biting, wrapping around each other.. the new eel was almost dead within 3 minutes.. was cut bad.. had to take the barely alive eel back to LFS. snowflakes arent really aggressive compared to other eels.. but they dont like anyone coming over uninvited. :) if your keeping them in speerate tanks just make sure you have a really secured top/cover on them.. ive had mine get out of the tank while on vacation once.. what a smell! :(
