Sea urchins are known to be safe to keep with other fish including Snowflake eels. 6) Sea Urchins Blue Tuxedo Urchin | Photo 133515351 © Voislav Kolevski | Eels like to hide under rocks and stay there for most of the day.
One reason a starfish would be a good fit with the eel in a big enough tank is that starfish need rocks to dwell on. However, with a big enough tank, the eel should not feel the need to attack the starfish and they could live in harmony. A starfish is an invertebrate and eels in the wild eat invertebrates. In a smaller tank, a starfish could be a quick snack for a Snowflake eel. 5) Starfish Red Starfish | Photo 3592212 © Olga Khoroshunova | Angelfish in general are considered semi-aggressive fish, and with their big size, they will not likely be bothered by the eel. Their maximum size in captivity is 12in and typically angelfish are meant to live in larger tanks which is also what is needed for the eel. 4) Angelfish Emperor Angelfish | Source: Deposit PhotosĮmperor, flame, and other kinds of angelfish are natives to the Indian and Pacific oceans just like Snowflake eels.
Feeding the eel at night might work best as eels generally are more nocturnal and hide in their rocks all day. In some cases finding the appropriate feeding time for both fish is challenging as they may steal food from one another. The triggers typically will not attack the eels either. They are natural hunters and because of this, it’s hard to imagine an eel being able to swallow one for dinner. Triggerfish can be both big and aggressive. 3) Triggerfish Blackbelly Triggerfish | Photo 9004154 © Sergey Skleznev | Tangs are a kind of fish that show up regularly and there are not many reported challenges with acclimating them to Snowflake eels. Many aquarium owners however have responded to inquiries on forums about the best companions to a Snowflake eel. Tangs are typically peaceful fish, but a few can be known to be aggressive. Tangs are typically big enough not to be bothered by Snowflake eels. 2) Tangs Blue tang (Paracanthurus hepatus), AKA Palette surgeonfish, Regal tang | Source: Deposit Photos Both the eel and the lionfish would do well in a 200-gallon tank as both of them would have the proper space and habitat to live comfortably without getting in each other’s way. Also, its dorsal spines make it a turn-off as a meal for Snowflake eels. The lionfish need large tanks to dwell in just like the Snowflake eel. Lionfish also grow very large, reaching lengths between 6 and 18 inches. A user on a forum from has said that in their “aggressive tank, the lionfish is the only fish the Snowflake eel is indifferent to.” With the lionfish being an aggressive kind of fish, eels have been known to not mess with them. 1) Lionfish Lionfish | Photo 43303047 © Aurinko | To help you out, I have compiled a list of the best possible tank mates to pair with a Snowflake eel. Now as for finding the right tank mates for a Snowflake eel, this can be very challenging. Because of their large size and predatory nature, it can be tricky finding the right tank mates for their peculiar diet. Snowflake eels are beautiful, majestic creatures, capable of growing to be about 2ft long when they’re kept in an aquarium.
