My snowflake eel's friend LOL

[fishoholic]

So for some odd reason my snowflake eel likes to do circle laps around my Blueline trigger. My Blueline trigger is super aggressive and when he's ****ed off enough he'll take a chunk out of the other fish. What blows me away is that for some reason bizarre reason he doesn't seem to mind/care when the eel swims around him.

Here's a link to the video I took of it on youtube. It's taken with my iPhone (so not the best quality) and the glare from the lights over the other tank doesn't help, but I find it funny to watch.

Not sure, I notice he seems to do that when it's close to feeing time so maybe he's trying to distract the trigger so he can get the food

Nice video.
I could be wrong but dont snowflake rely 100 per cent on smell. If so she is not aware of who she is cuddling. I suspect that most fish leave snake like critters alone
