The hardy moray eels can obtain a reaction like no other fish can. The Snowflake Moray is a great recommendation for beginner hobbyists. They don't need a ton of room and, as long as you keep them well fed, they pose little threat to other aquarium dwellers. They do best in aquariums with plenty of hiding spaces. Most will readily take to thawed silversides if you give a wiggle with some tongs. Do not hand feed. They are nocturnal feeder and should be fed when the lights are off in the aquarium. These are escape artists, so keep a tight lid on the aquarium. This eel will grow to be about 2 feet long, but are not big swimmers so the aquarium does not need to be overly large. The Snowflake Moray are found in the Indo-Pacific within rock and corals of reefs and lagoons up to at least 10 meters of depth. Their long body consists of alternating patterns of yellow, tan and brown that slightly resemble snowflakes.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
