Concerned about mag. foxface

[Jay Hemdal Verified Community Expert]

Sorry was this question out of concern or curiosity?

It is skinny but its head size is also really small compared to the goldspotted despite being longer. From what I've seen and heard from other hobbiest species like the banded are quite skinny so I'm not overly concerned as it does eat well and regularly.

No - just curious, I've had a lot of trouble getting that genus of eels to acclimate to aquarium life. Good to hear yours is eating well!

Snake Eels: The Safe Moray Alternative?

Snake Eels: The Safe Moray Alternative? by @Slocke Myrichthys colubrinus - The Banded Snake Eel Snake eels are a more rarely seen but available eel in the aquarium hobby, but are they a viable option for someone looking for a more unusual eel...

I did a write up but it was difficult to do a good care guide as every species is quite different despite being in the same genus. Goldspots are easy and aggressive eaters. Banded are somewhat shier. And the two leopards I know of both hide for weeks at a time.
