Snowflake eel

[manuel josephh]

Hey guys, so I just got back from the fish store with a snowflake eel. One of them told me that I can keep them in a 34 gallon display tank(my tank is a Red Sea reefer 170). But after doing some research, I’m having mixed feelings about keeping a snowflake eel in my 34 gallon DT. My question is, would it do well in a 34 gallon tank?

In the long term, it will need a 90 gallon, but a baby will be OK in a 34 gallon for a while. I'd say that you should take it out once it reaches about 25 cm, before the bioload becomes too high. Also, it will eat any shrimp or crabs in the tank, and possibly small fish.
