Black Ribbon Eel (Muraenichthys favus)

Description

Rhinomuraena quaesita

This eel is blue with yellow fins. Ribbon eels make striking display animals for the home aquarium; however, they can be difficult to feed. In most cases they will need live feeder fish to survive (e.g., mollies), but some can be trained to take small pieces of fish impaled on the sharpened end of a piece of rigid airline tubing or to take food off the aquarium bottom. Provide with plenty of hiding places and sand on the bottom of the tank. A cave or pile of rubble may be used as a shelter site. This species does best if kept in a specimen tank (on its own).
