Lost my Ribbon eel today :(

[OldSchool]

One of the toughest fighters I've owned. Actually came out of his hole to die next to his best friend snowflake eel. Acquired a couple years ago w/injury and lived with snowflake in same pipe until they got to big. Were in separate pipes for close to a year until today! A tough loss for me.

I hope you have a lot of good memories to pull you through this.

Some fishes do end up bonding with each other!

Why did the ribbon eel die?

RIP!

Looked like an Internal parasite. Stopped eating. Was a full grown 38" adult.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss! We always have a few that are tougher to lose than others. You obviously did a remarkable job caring for him with that injury and it was great of you to take him in knowing how much care he'd need to get over it. I hope your remaining eel is OK emotionally. We don't give our aquatic friends enough credit for the friendships they develop with other tank mates. Big hugs to you!
