Here is a video of my two fimbriated eels. I got them both at around ten inches and have grown a decent amount in a few months. I've never really had an issue with the two in the tank but they each have their own spots in the tank. When first introduced they shared the same spot, but now they stay on opposite sides. Think I have anything to worry about? They seem to get a bit defensive if the other roams near its area.

also on a side note, the algae on the bottom middle of the tank on the sand has popped up recently and I haven't had that problem before. any remedies or known causes?

Looks like someone has to go to me...

The two have been together about 4-5 months now and never got into it with each other. If what I've read is right, the two have different teeth configuration meaning there might be a male and female? I've just started to notice the one showing more teeth in its mouth. Possibly a changing of sex has to do with this?

Yeah I would definitely research their mating routines..
When they mate
What happens before and after
And how often.

Hopefully they just get aggressive when mating or something. Sorry I don't know.

They also might of just gotten so big now they are fighting for territory.
