NO experience on chainlinks personally, but I have heard its about the size of a normal-sized persons arm.

Hi people,

I need your urgent help!

I have a blue ribbon eel and a snowflakes eel in my 250 gallons fish only aquarium besides many fish.

The blue ribbon eel is the latest one I added to the tank. Its been 2 days since I added, but I could not manage to make it eat anything.

I would be glad if you could let me know your experiences and knowledge about how to feed the blue ribbon eel.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have any expierence with any eels, but I know blue ribbon's are hard to keep because of trying to get them to eat.

This eel is blue with yellow fins. Ribbon eels make striking display animals for the home aquarium; however, in some captive venues they will refuse to feed. In most cases they will need live feeder fish to survive (e.g., mollies), but some can be trained to take small pieces of fish impaled on the sharpened end of a piece of rigid airline tubing or to take food off the aquarium bottom. Provide with plenty of hiding places and sand on the bottom of the tank. A cave or pile of rubble may be used as a shelter site. This species does best if kept in a specimen tank (on its own).
