I picked up a very healthy ghost ribbon eel 1 week a go saw him eating at the LFS and he ate 1 time for me. He only came out once during the lights coming on I do see him swimming around after all light are out in the house. How do I get him to come out more, or is it just wait for him to come out.
 
Eels can by skiddish, what size tank is it? The eel needs to be able to hide its entire body. PVC works great if you can bury it or hide it under rock. Ribbons can also be tricky to get eating, try a variety of food. Any tank mates that could be aggressive towards it?
 
It is in a 60 cube for now there are no aggressive fish in the tank a couple Pj cardinals a air small clowns. It was eating frozen krill at the LFS and he alps ate that for the one time he ate. I will try burying some PVC under the sand and rock thanks.
 
If you have enough rockwork they should be OK. But ribbons can get really long and not very girthy. Just make sure its stable because they kind definitely shift things around
