White ribbon eel

[Killerwhale]

hi, anyone got experience in keeping eel ?

[FuEl]

Are you referring to garden eel?

I've read that it's difficult to get them to feed in the aquarium..

blue ribbon eel I've kept b4 some yrs back. Very easy to keep. I had a tank with 2 ribbons, 2 morays, frogfish, lions & a red grouper. Prob is they get pretty big. Also be a bit careful in terms of covering yr top of tank. One of my ribbons was found dead outside the tank one morning. Feeding is no prob as they take live fishes( guggies etc) & slowly can teach them to take dried krill or prawn meat.

i have 3 morays inside my tank, average 1.5-2ft each.. i feed them with live glass shrimps, guppies, "hay bee", prawns, mysis shrimps... basically, they eat anything that is meaty.. when they are young, they ate tetra bits until i tried feeding them prawn meat.. MISTAKE... never able to wean them back... basically, they are very easy to keep..

I think he's not talking about ribbon eels...there are no ribbon eels that are white......

garden eels are pretty easy? dun need to worry abt feeding.. they take very small food...

like liquify maine? DT plankton? small BS?

[FuEl]

I think adult brine shrimp and mysis would be something that they could see.....

I have a ribbon eel....he also dont want to eat....

tried mysis shrimp, fish meat, brine shirmp....all dont want...

[FuEl]

You need live food. Try feeder guppies or small live ghost shrimp

Managed to get the white ribbon eel to eat. I cut a 5 cents size prawn meat and place it near it mouth. Immedately, she opens it wide mouth and swallow the prawn meat.....Kind of interesting to watch...
