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

Why not? Eels like to spoon too.

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
