Well today I saw my cleaner shrimp working on the eel's skin, so I'm nervous. The eel has just begun transitioning to blue. If anything happens to it im really going to be bummed. He is getting a fantastic diet, so there's not much more to do I suppose.

My ribbon eel seems to have finally caught my firefish. Unfortunately, the tank currently has ich. I know that the eel's slime coating protects it from ich pretty well, but will eating an infested fish harm it?

Edit: just thought I'd mention that the reason I no longer have them is because I gave the Niger and half moon away when I got a jeweled moray. I didn't want them becoming lunch. I still have the pink tail and snowflake.

I kept a snowflake in a 125 with 3 triggers. I had a Niger, half moon, and a pink tail. Everyone got along just fine, but keep in mind that triggers get big - the Niger especially. It will outgrow a 90 gallon tank. I had mine for over a year and noticed very little growth, so you would probably...

I'm Setting up a 150 gallon tank, and put in about 20 lbs of substrate before realizing I might be making a big mistake. It's made by CORALine and it's essentially a mix of shells. They are not crushed, mostly whole. I know that this will be difficult to keep clean, but aside from that, what...

Like I said, I'd rather not go the poisonous route. Plus for whatever reason I just don't find lion fish to be very appealing. What about a bird wrasse? Would it go after the eels' tails?

New to the boards, although I've spent countless hours over the past year creeping though and gaining knowledge. I got my first tank in May of last year and now have a 75, 125, and a 150 in progress. My pride and joy is my black ribbon eel. He eats frozen silversides along with other fresh...

I had a foxface that I'm 99% sure died of fright/ stress after the addition of a ribbon eel (who is alive eating and healthy), but that's a whole different story in a whole different tank. Anyway I'd prefer to avoid poisonous fish anyway - I hated having to be constantly on the lookout. Also...

I've been into saltwater for almost one year now. I currently have a jeweled moray, snowflake eel, and a pink tailed trigger living together in a 125 gallon tank. The tank is an old, scratched acrylic pos with HOB filters, horrible home made lighting, and is really falling apart in every way...
