Ribbon eels

[Guest drgnchk]

Has anyone successfully housed a ribbon eel, i was thinking about getting one for one of my tanks, but don't know if their reef compatible or what?

 

please advise, Rebecca

Not likely going to make it without having a very specialized system.  Leave the blue or black variety in the ocean where they have a chance.

 

The exception is a "white ribbon eel" which can be long lived when a proper diet can be established.  Still not a good candidate for a reef tank although it's main diet will be strictly fish it can get in it's mouth.
