having a great time here, they all eat but i'm withholding food for now to fix their feeding schedule. Still trying to track down a yellow one, planning a tank upsize once i have room

Look how beautiful! What wonderful animals. A shame they're so hard to keep.

That silverside is freaking huge, are you sure he ate it and it's not in the den somewhere.

that's what I said! he did eat it. I looked down from the top and watched him slowly but surely choke it down. he even took another one that I was trying to give to the largest of the 3

 

[dstockwell]

Way cool

Whoa, I don't think I've ever seen a juvi ribbon eat something that large. Not that it's going to kill him but just be careful, this is what triggers regurgitation and may contribute to constipation. I've come back to my tank and seen chunks of regurgitated food, you may not see it if it's behind the rocks or somewhere out of site. Constipation may also be an effect of eating too many large food items. At least reef level mg or even a little higher may help with digestion. It's great they eating so well.

gotcha, I'll try and give him smaller silversides or cut them into pieces. however he seems to be quite the fan of large meals, a growing eel needs lots of food!

 

[BriansBrain]

Awesome! Those eels are so cool and are the only type of eels that don’t give me the creeps lol maybe has something to do with my fear of snakes

After seeing that I don't think I would worry too much, as long as he keeps it down. And if he's out and about a few days later you know he's digesting fine.

right! he seems to like to go exploring once a week, definitely the adventurous one of the group
