[fish keeper 7]

Tank looks great man! hows the eel doing? =]

 

[tomtoothdoc]

interesting....never thought of keeping an eel in a reef tank. how much and how often do you have to feed it? what do you feed? do you need sand to keep an eel?

 

[motortrendz]

well tom, he is tiny so far its doing great(thanks fishkeeper) got it from him. so far when i feet my fish the concoction i make, the eel goes after the mysis... he is small abt the thickness of my pinky finger(maybe thinner) its abt 8in long.. funny tho i never see him.. there is soo many places for him to hang out.. i think he likes a place in the rear of the reef.. i dont know if you need a sandbed or not for it.. it seems to hang out in the rocks, and sometimes under my large toadstool.. i think the garden eel needs a deep sandbed.. this is a snowflake.. im sure someone will chime in.. if not post a thread.. id like to know myself.. and i know alot of people will say not reef safe.. oh well im gonna try.. lol

 

[motortrendz]

more pics.. getting tired of them yet? i wish i had a better cameras to do closeups..
im only using my phone for pics right now.. some new sps from bob1000 and albano.. thanks guys!

 

[Marcellina]

great aquascaping !

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

Wow tank looks filled already, were are you going to put all these free frags i am giving you,lmfao

 

[Awibrandy]

Wow Mike, you have really gotten yourself some really nice pieces!!!!!!! My very best wishes with all. Have fun with the eel. Biggest problem I find with them is their digging under the rocks. Even when the rocks are on the bottom glass they still manage to move them.arggggggggg
