Freshwater Snowflake eel?

[Echo2656]

I heard a sub-species of the snowflake eel called a freshwater snowflake eel originating from the Philippines was a lot smaller than the normal one, and would live in brackish water. Anyone know about this guy, like tank size and ect. Because I really want to keep an eel like this but most a really big.

They look like an awfully common eel found in the UK and I think most of Europe haha. The conger eel (I don’t recommend trying to own one - These things can be HUGE).

The “freshwater snowflake moray” is gymnothorax tile - more closely related to the green moray (Gymnothorax funebris) than to the snowflake eel (echidna nebulosa). It is called a freshwater moray but should be kept in brackish water. The only moray that can survive in freshwater is the tiger moray (gymnothorax polyuranodon).
Both the g. Tile and snowflake need similar tank sizes. Minimum 75 gallons imo, google says 30 gallon but I can’t justify a 2 foot eel in so small a tank.

what are you talking about, my dragon eel gets along fine the the powder blue tang and 4 parrotfish inside the canister filter, it needs 1 gallon maximum.

no, they would bother the nudibranchs in the pipes.

Yeah I know, just figured it would be a good alternative to anyone wanting to own a conger eel!
