Snowflake Eel

[derrick orosz]

I was thinking about putting one in my QT but when I get new fish it normally gets treated with copper, so my question is are they ok with copper?

stick him in your dt mine is happier than ever in my reef hasnt bothered anything in 3 months of having him even my 6 shrimp are still alive

From what I've read they are jumpers, correct?

My QT top is sealed but my DT has a open top he could escape.

Plus my QT is fairay empty

I've read a bunch of stories of eels escaping, and have my tank completely covered should my zebra eel be dumb enough to try! The snowflake i had only cruised around middle and bottom of tank. Scubasteve has a funny story about his!

Do not use copper on an eel
