Moray Snowflake Eel

[huig]

I got the idea when I saw a zoo that trained their frogs to take food in a small container, so they were sure each animal had enough insects. This required less insects.

Everybody seems to think snowflakes are the guppy equivalent of the eels, but IMO they are the nicest ones around!
I have 3 and 2 of them even have blue dots on their body.

I trained my eels by feeding them only with a long feeding stick.
I always tap the window gently when I feed my eels, and immediately place the food item in front of them.
That way they associate the feeding stick and the tapping with food. I find this reduces aggression during feeding a lot.
Best to start doing this is with relative young eels.

Ha, me too. I feed them from only one spot in the tank as they have knocked things over swallowing the food. BTW I also have a 3 foot zebra in the tank. I tap on the glass several times and they come to the feeding area.

I have always had snowflakes in my tank and have never lost a fish. Shrimp, crabs, once a clam but never a fish.
