Here are some pictures of my Blue Ribbon Eel. I had him for a week now, and he eets!!! It took me good few days(2hours/day) to make him eat, and now he eats one goldfish a day.

Cool idea hiding the PVC under that decoration. Pretty fish. Can I ask how big your tank is?

WOW! Not a big fan of eels, remind me of snakes, and this gal is scared of snakes :scared: Yrs ago I had a snowflake eel who got out of the tank and was slithering across my floor, had nightmares for months. But this guy is simply GORGOUS!!!!

i wouldnt consider goldfish a success because it will just kill your eel over time but can i get a full tank shot i love the rock work and angel!!

Do you just throw a fish in there or do you use a feeding stick? Are they so hard to keep because they are difficult to feed?

The only way to feed mine is using a feeding stick.
