Show off your EELS!

The deeper the sand the better. I would say 6" is min but 8-10" is ideal. They do best in their own tank. The flow has to go over them because if food does not pass over them they will not eat. This is very important to remember but relatively easy to adjust flow to accomplish. They are very skittish and afraid of everything including their food and their own shadow. Once they are comfortable you can add fish but I would wait several months until they are comfortable. When they are comfortable various fish are fine with them. I had chromis, cardinals, a butterfly ect. Fish will actually help later as you generally have to overfeed them since again only food that passes over them they will eat. This means there is a lot of uneaten food.

I bought mine at LFS. I believe they are seasonal, but I think it was around summer time that I got them.

Thanks!

Feeding time can get a little hectic with 7 eels in one tank. I'll try to post up a video next time I feed them.

Got my banded moray almost 6 months ago, about 14" now. He's in a mixed reef aquarium and hasn't been aggressive at all to tank mates. Been feeding frozen krill on a stick 3 times a week.

Anyone else have a banded? They don't seem as popular as snowflake or zebra. But seem to be best as far as not getting too big or agressive.

I have a banded moray as well. Mine is about the same size as yours. I hand feed mine krill, he won't take silvers, and I feed him every other day. Yesterday he ate the most I've seen him. Usually he eats three little guys, but I fed him about 8. Needless to say, he is growing.

@bradt24 How long have you had him, he looks pretty thick. How has he been to care for, I hear they are easier than other ribbon eels.

Line at the dentist.

Was scared for the shrimp as it was brand new and tiny but it went to work on both gdm pretty fast. I have an old full grown cleaner who seems to have retired from any cleaning duties.

Had the 1st eel for over a year and it was ridiculously reclusive and only came out for feedings. Honestly felt like a waste of money cause I rarely saw it. Ended up getting a 2nd one about 2 months ago and they're both pretty active. Want one a 3rd now....
