I know you can get snowflake's at BSL and PetCo, but if you're planning on putting it in a reef tank I wouldn't recommend it. I'm speaking from experience when I tell you if there is any fish under 2-3inches in that tank they'll get eaten. If not immediatley, then as it grows you'll loose them.

Arn't those guys really small dave? I'm thinking that 1" is a safe size with those eels.

One that will not fit in its mouth.

I'd think twice before I put one in with your Helfrichs because while it might not be able to eat it ,it may take a chunk out.

He would take up 1/3 of the water volume.
