Nature Front - Blue Ribbon Eel

Blue Ribbon Eel

Sunday, 13 November 2011 12:00 |

Now this is one elite eel. Full-grown adults are over a yard long and can live up to 20 years: not just a blue ribbon winner among eels, but a Blue Ribbon Eel itself! This relative of the famed and feared Moray Eel is a popular aquarium fish for advanced hobbyists owning very large salt-water tanks.

Blue Ribbon Eels are brightly colored in rich blue with contrasting yellow trim – which seems odd for a creature that spends most of its time hiding in a seafloor lair or, if captive, in a provided piece of PVC piping. Those wanting to add a Blue Ribbon Eel to their marine menagerie should be aware that they are difficult pets to maintain for extended periods of time.
