wow amazing im jealous! how old is the ghost ribbon and is the skeletor aggressive?

Uncko Macko · Feb 27, 2011

Ive had the ghost for almost a week. Had him eating a few hours out of the bag.
Skeletor is real chill and not a picky eater at all. Most eel need to be feed from a feeding stick. Skeletor will pick up clam, shrimp, squid, etc...right off of the sand.

That is an awesome picture!

Uncko Macko · Feb 27, 2011

Thanks. I wonder what the shrimp was thinking!

the tank looks amazing, especially love the skeletor...are they the only eels in the tank?

Uncko Macko · Feb 27, 2011

Yes. I had an awesome Miniatus Grouper too, but he made it extremely difficult to feed the eels. I gave him to a local reefer who wants to give me frags for my custom reef when it's ready. Reef karma is good to me.

Mental1 · Feb 27, 2011

Yea -- I thought the shrimp was kinda nutz too! I like reef karma too - I give away a lot of coral.

cool pic . they are ok together?

Uncko Macko · Mar 1, 2011

So far. They don't bother eachother at all. Even seem to hang out together.

Uncko Macko · Mar 13, 2012

Everything is doing great! I've had the Ghost Ribbon for over a year now. Most people say they are hard to keep more than a few months. They are all healthy, very active, hungry eaters, and beyond compatible with eachother. I was so close to picking up a White Eye Moray from The Fish Factory by Philly but I'm not sure my setup can take the bioload

great to have an update. very nice collection! still just the three in your tank? any surviving shrimp or other tankmates?

of your eels, which is out the most?

I have read that the white ribbon eel is much hardier than the other types of ribbon eels (which actually look a lot different)

three musketeers

very nice eels, the golden moray is particularly gorgeous

Uncko Macko · Mar 13, 2012

Thank you. They live with a white, purple, and pink Dampiera Pseudochromis. Funny you ask. I had several fire shrimp and skunk shrimp that they excepted for about 8 months as cleaners. But they started to disappear. I would guess that Skeletor picked them off. Out the most? They all a very active for eels. The ribbon eel is out of the rocks the most. Goldie does the most laps. And Skeletor spens the most time in the rocks but when he comes out he is much more energetic then the other 2.

Awesome eels. Where'd you get them from?
I'm in the Philly area too.

Pallobi · Mar 13, 2012

Agreed... Great display...

Uncko Macko · Mar 14, 2012

Thanks. I got the Golden Moray from a guy on craigslist who was moving. THe Skeletor from Divers Den. And the White Ribbon from The Hidden Reef. Lately I prefer the Fish Factory. He has made alot of changes...and the fish are much healthier than other places around here. Great prices too!

Oh nice. I never really head that way but need to more often. I typically hit up Frazer Zoo (now ASR) or go online for livestock.
