Snowflake Moray?

[luisht]

Can I keep a snowflake moray in a 29 biocube?

It would be tuff depending on how much places you have for this amazing creature to hide. What kind of livestock do you have?

[luisht]

I have
1 Lawnmower blenny
1 ocellaris
2 hermit crabs
2 emerald crabs
1 astrea snail

From what the owner at my LFS says, no. They will grow too large and being that the BC is a smaller tank, they will become aggressive towards other tank life.

If you're absolutely dead set on getting an eel, have you looked at a Dwarf Golden Moray? They only get about 8" long.

Ive kept one before in a 30g long but with other snowflakes. I'm sure your other livestock will become dinner.

Could be an costly dinner!

Yupp...

[luisht]

oh well, maybe ill get one when i have a bigger tank, but thanks for your advice

i'll do a little research on the dwarf golden moray, maybe i can keep that

I would say probably not. fIrst off, your lawnmower blenny would be eaten almost as soon as you added the moray! :O and a 29 seems a little tight for such a large creature. i have a snowflake moray in a 72 gallon and i stil feel like the tank needs to be a little bit bigger. if that gives you any idea of what size tank is needed?

I have a snowflake in my 120, hes not quite big yet (about 6 inches) my peps have already became dinner for him but he hasnt messed with my clowns, mandarin dragonette, and other small fish and hermits. But I would agree that is to small for a snowflake.
