Eels Eels Eels Eels Eels Eels Eels
Hey everyone , how are you doing , i just joined this board today and wondered if there was any eel lovers out there , i have a 55 gallon salwater tank , and i have a 8 inch snowflake eel in it , i love him to death , is a 55 gallon aquarium ok for him to live in , someone told me it was big enough however i have had people to tell me that it isn't ,
If any of you like to talk about eels and stuff my msn messenger is kirtis_m@hotmail.com and aol is kirtism and email is kirtis_m@yahoo.com
And also anyone want to post picture of their eels ???
also
ANYONE KNOW OF THIS I have heard that Ribbon eels are very very hard to keep, cause they are picky eaters, have any of you ever had a ribbon eel, i would like to have one but it is out of the question cause i already have my snowflake and i dont' want them to fight, one of the petstores said they had one that would eat really good but the others wouldn't , they said it got to be like 3 feet long and was pretty blue with a long yellow fine running down its back, they said the sold it and it jumped out of the guys tank that nigh , MAN I WOULD FEEL TERRIBLE that happening after paying $150 for it , anyway i was just wanting to know if any of you have one , caue right now that one and the tesselata are my favorite eels
has anyone out there ever had a tessata moray eel, i would like one of these but the need an aqaurium of at least 200 gallons

The only experience I have with eels is with Rhinomurena ambionensis back in the 70's. IME they are not good tank candidates, they have a lousy survival rate and any LFS that tells you other wise must have ran a credit check on you, They are out for your money

We have two eels that love frozen smelt. Does anyone know where we can purchase packaged frozen smelt?

WOW very old posts..
Welcome to TRT!
here is a little reading in eels for ya.
as for the smelt.. not sure if you can order it on line. you might try a local bit and tackle shop or ask you local LFS if they can order it or get something close to it,
i take it back you can order it from here, although i think you could switch over to something elae if they are eating this..

Make sure you have a good cover no matter what Eel you have. I have seen many eels dried up on the floor because they climb out. 55 should be ok IMO.
