My Blue Ribbon Eel eats! (pics and videos)

My Blue Ribbon Eel eats! (pics and video)

Well I wanted to wait to write this until I was sure that my blue ribbon would live. It's been about eight months now, so I think it's time to tell my experiences so other will have the best chance with their blue ribbons. Below are a sample of some of the pics. The complete story and all the pics (and videos) are in the Advanced Topics section, with the same subject.

Cool pics. How deep is your sand bed?

I'm so glad to hear it!
About 15 years ago I had a blue ribbon for about six months that never ate. One day while feeding another fish or anenome via a pointed stick the eel came out and took the food I beleive a silverside.From that day onward he ate every night.I kept him for about another year.He grew to about 4 -5 feet long.Then one day I came home and found him on the floor.The prettiest 4' walking stick I ever seen. The do get spooked and are jumpers, keep your eye on him. I haven't seen them around lately.Most places consider them unkeepable.I would like to try another one in the future.

STEELERFAN747: Sand is about three inches.

richard snyder: You eel must have been eating something in order to live that first six months, wouldn't you think? I attended to escaping thing by putting mesh over the overflow, and of course the top of the tank has its acrylic covers in place.

Andrew: Glad you like it.

I hope someone decides to try a BR pipe idea themselves, and posts the results. Maybe even a small 20 as a test, with lots of other fish to create interest for the BR.
