Shoddy photo, but it works. No matter how many caves I make for these two, or rearrange the rockwork, they always end up sharing a cave :). They're adorable. My miliaris and dwarf.

thanks
 
They've never fought. I have no problems with the size difference between them. They snuggle right up next to each other even and sometimes even just lay on top of each other :lol: .

I think Tess's can be aggressive? Probably was the problem. Neither of mine are notably aggressive species.

i want a snowflake eel now :) whats the minimum tank size? Are they a threat to inverts like most eels are? Could they be included in a reef? Sorry to hijack :)
 
Snowflakes are specialized to take out inverts, so yes they are. They could be included in a reef if you don't have small fish or just feed it really well, and don't mind having little to no inverts. Many say 75g is the minimum, while in adult hood I'd say they need a 125 as a minimum.

Also realize that as adults, they get a lot of width on them. It's my opinion that any good looks they had while young, are lost. But that's just me. Take this photo of an adult for example: http://www.coralreefnetwork.com/stender/fishes/eels/nebulosa.jpg
 
The other thing they do it dig around a lot...at least mine does. He clouds up the water a lot and has destroyed rockwork before.
