snowflake eel

does anyone know how hardy snowflake eels are and are they usually easy to feed? Also will a lionfish eat them?

thanks

snowflakes are pretty much considered the hardiest eels,and lions make excellent tankmates for them.i have a snowflake ,a dwarf lion and a blue cheek trigger in my 110g.they are very easy to feed ,ime.

I though that triggers would be attracted to the lion/s frilly fins and try to nibble them. You haven't noticed any problems? I would love to have a clowntrigger!

jc,
yes most triggers would probably present a problem,thats why i chose the blue cheek,they are one of the planktonic picking triggers,and are very mellow.the niger trigger is another mellow one ,ime.other than these two ,i dont think i would try it(a trigger and lion in the same tank).hth

The snowflakes are like organic said, one of the easier to keep of the eels. If you ween it off live food it should be very easy to feed. I keep a small snowflake with a dwarf lion, and small niger and picasso triger. I do not feed live foods ever except the occasional ghost shrimp.
