Got a question for and of our more agressive critter keepers out there. I picked up a pair of Snowflake eels last week, little guys right now at 7-8" long. They are residing quite comfortably in my 29g planted tank (a second refuge for the display tank). Considered adding them to the main display for a few seconds but thought better of it, now I'm really glad.
Enough background, this evening I feed them 8 or 9 live feeder guppies, within 20 mins they had all become dinner. How much and often have you fed them? Give'm as much as they will eat once or twice a week maybe?
Previously I'd just put 2 or 3 in the tank, and they'd go away within a day or two, the next day I'd add a couple more... etc. But tonight I wanted to see if I could really stir things up by putting a bunch in there, and what a show we got. I see now I may need to set up a permanent tank for the feeders and get a lot more a few dozen at a time.
So let me hear your feeding habit stories for these critters?
BTW, Yes I do know they will easily outgrow that breeder tank in a year or less.
