New "freshwater" Eel

[ScoutCarcer]

Hey,

Today I got my hands on a Freshwater Snowflake Eel or Gymnothorax tile. He is in brackish water. I'm working on getting him more hiding places. He has some Rosy Reds for food. I'm pretty much clueless on things for him beyond that. I just wanted to get some advise from people that have had them before or now.

Isn't there a sticky on eels somewhere? You should read that, very helpful.

I got two 15 inch ones a couple of months ago or maybe more.

Great fish mine live with two toadfishquite happily

They are one of the best fish I have had for feeding. when its feeding time which is usually prawns or lancefish or eartheworms they go mad round the surface and take it from my hand. They gulp a large llancefish down like a snake does a rat

My water is about 0.012sg or however you write it exactly but I'm sure you get drift and they live in tank with just a bit of bogwood to hide behind. they are reasonably active and come to front of tank when I go in garage

when I got them I put them in freshwater tank!!they were white. I checked on here and got em in brackish straight away and there colouration is nice now darker with the snowflake pattern very obvious

goood luck and get some pics up!!
