Blue Ribbon Eel Super Aggressive

[HakunaKahuna]

Ive had a blue ribbon eel a while back in my 92 corner reef. And ead told they are hard to maintain do to the finicky eatting. But that they dont eat any tank mates. WRONG!!!! As soon as i put him in, he ate 4 fish, 2 cromises, a clown, and a small dragonite. No matter how much i fed it, he would always search and follow the fish around with his mouth open. I would feed it about 4 medium sliders and still. But because they are such beautiful eels I want to get another one tho but for a reef tank with bigger mates. Im not sure if that will make a difference tho. Can anybody help me with this.... will it still attack bigger fish even if it cant technically eat them? And is this normal for an eel period, to attack fish they can fit in thier mouths.

I would think that even 1 white castle slider would fill him up. :fun4:

I would like to know where you picked up the small Pokemon dragonite from? But in all seriousness getting a ribbon eel to even eat is a challenge. I'd say keep only him in the tank and keep no other fish except damsels as food
