banana eel

tiger eel

Shoddy photo, but it works. No matter how many caves I make for these two, or rearrange the rockwork, they always end up sharing a cave

. They're adorable. My miliaris and dwarf.

cubano2480 · #5 09/13/2007, 09:44 PM

do they fight ??? I had a tesselata eel and the banana in the same tank but the tess was always fighting looking for problems???

here is a pic.

thanks

LukFox · #6 09/13/2007, 09:48 PM

They've never fought. I have no problems with the size difference between them. They snuggle right up next to each other even and sometimes even just lay on top of each other

.

I think Tess's can be aggressive? Probably was the problem. Neither of mine are notably aggressive species.

Did you mean mine? He is very, very yellow...I will look for a picture of his full body.

TriniStylez · #15 09/14/2007, 07:36 PM

I dont have any of his whole body but I will take one the next time he comes all the way out of the rocks. Heres a few more of him though. Same camera phone, so pics are not the best...

latazyo · #16 09/14/2007, 08:11 PM

not lying, your camera phone pics are better that my cheap digi cam pics

JJ21 · #17 09/14/2007, 09:29 PM

i want a snowflake eel now

whats the minimum tank size? Are they a threat to inverts like most eels are? Could they be included in a reef? Sorry to hijack

LukFox · #18 09/14/2007, 09:37 PM

Snowflakes are specialized to take out inverts, so yes they are. They could be included in a reef if you don't have small fish or just feed it really well, and don't mind having little to no inverts. Many say 75g is the minimum, while in adult hood I'd say they need a 125 as a minimum.

Also realize that as adults, they get a lot of width on them. It's my opinion that any good looks they had while young, are lost. But that's just me. Take this photo of an adult for example: http://www.coralreefnetwork.com/sten...s/nebulosa.jpg

TriniStylez · #19 09/14/2007, 10:48 PM

The other thing they do it dig around a lot...at least mine does. He clouds up the water a lot and has destroyed rockwork before.
