I have discovered that snowflake eels are very slow witted and pose very little threat to small fish in the tank. It takes them so long to zero in on their prey, they end up striking at nothing. I would be more concerned with crustacions or fish that actually sleep.
That thing is quite rotund. :-)

great eel.I miss mine alot,had a great personality/demeanor.Mine was slightly shorter but still as fat.
mine only swam around when he was hungry,other than that he just poked his head out from under his rock. never had him victimize anyone else in the tank,unless it was feeding time and even then it was accidental i believe

I think they can get more aggressive (and more likely to eat fish) as they reach sexual maturity. Cash cow, yours may have reached that point. Or it could have just been an individual quirk. How big was it?
