{"product_id":"snowflake-eel-fish","title":"Snowflake Eel Fish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Snowflake Eel, *Echidna nebulosa*, is a captivating and popular moray eel for the home aquarium. Its striking pattern of black and white blotches resembles a snowflake, giving it its common name. This hardy and relatively docile moray is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking for an interesting and active predator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 50 gallons is recommended for a single Snowflake Eel, with larger tanks preferred for multiple specimens or tank mates. The aquarium should have a secure lid as these eels are known escape artists. Provide plenty of live rock and PVC pipes to create ample hiding places and crevices for the eel to explore and rest in. While generally peaceful towards fish they cannot swallow, they will readily consume crustaceans and smaller fish. Therefore, tank mates should be chosen carefully and be significantly larger than the eel's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the home aquarium, the Snowflake Eel can reach a size of up to 24 inches. They are carnivorous and their diet should consist of a variety of meaty foods such as frozen or fresh fish, shrimp, squid, and krill. Offer food using a feeding stick to avoid being bitten. Feed them two to three times per week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no known visual differences between male and female Snowflake Eels, and breeding in captivity is extremely rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echidna nebulosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075755172129,"sku":"TT-6198-S","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075755204897,"sku":"TT-6198-M","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075755237665,"sku":"TT-6198-L","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/Snowflake-Eel-Fish-7.jpg?v=1784977683","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/snowflake-eel-fish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
