Ok i'm pretty sure this is a bad idea but, no hurt in finding out. So i've been eyeing a baby snowflake eel at my buddies shop. He said he'd give it to me for $10 but, i'm not sure what size tank to get for the lil guy/girl. he offered me a 29 gallon biocube for free (such a good friend) but, i'm not sure it would be right for it. can anyone help me?

It says on Live aquaria it requires a 50 gal min. I have never dealt with eels.

You also need to take into account that it's not really a 29g tank. It's a total of 29g of water but, that's including the back chambers.

I think I have a little experience with them. A couple years anyway. I would suggest a 55 gallon tank minimum. The key info though is they are great escape artist. You need a tight fitting top or you will find him dead on the floor. Didnt happen to mine but I know several folks that it did happen to.
