About 17 yrs ago i use to sell corals and fish,and suppliers fill your order to its max,so i received a blue ribon eel.
Had it survived 2years in a 6ft tank amaising to view although it ate all the damsels in that tank and i fed it feeder gopies and feeder gold fish,and a couple frosen sardines a week.
Unfortunately the eel found its way over the tank and thats how it ennded up apox. 20 feet away from the tank 
I don't recomend bying the eel as their survival rate is quite rare.I was one lucky dude. |
So often when the subject of almost impossible to keep coral and fish come up, two or three reefers boast how they have been successful in keeping them.
Sadly these posts leave the impression, especially to new reefers, that it is OK to buy them.
Thanks, Elias for recognizing that you were one of the very few lucky dudes and a BIG THANKS for your recommendation that reefers not buy them as their survival rate is rare.
