Snowflake eel

Looking into getting a snowflake eel. Anything I should be wary of? Any tips?

You need a tight fitting lid, and an open mind about the eel eating your other fish! Otherwise they are pretty robust. Produce a lot of waste.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a fish, except my mandarin that won’t eat out of my hand. But if there’s nothing I should be worried of, I think I’ll be trying to find one now!

That’s just the circle of life! I also have quarentine tanks I can use if I see signs of aggression. But if I miss it, what can I do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used to have a problem when I first started with freshwater of doing too many water changes and too much maintenance, so waste shouldn’t really be a problem.
