Blue Ribbon eel journey

[SantaMonica]

Here are my Blue Ribbon eel vids from 2007 to 2011, showing the progression of the eel and the feeding. The secret to feeding is to have a tube for hiding that is longer than the eel..

Thank you for sharing these videos! It's not often I get to see a blue ribbon on here!

 

[SantaMonica]

Not often, for sure. They don't eat corals but they do move substrate and small rocks. Oh, they'll eat your small fish too.

What a truly fun tank! (And this is coming from a person who hates / is frightened by eels-- LOL!) Seeing that eel go down his special 'escape hatch' was super-cool. You even have a Lookdown fish?!

 

[SantaMonica]

"Had" a lookdown. Back then.
Amazing to watch, but they move so fast they hit the walls too much. Maybe a much larger tank would be better.

 

[JumboShrimp]

Yeah, they can get huge, right? I've seen them at public aquariums, and places like Disney.

Yea as big as a dinner plate
