I’d say they are too small and delicate. One bite and it’s dead. Most gymnothorax, muraena, siderae, or the zebra eel, gymnomuraena zebra. Will do fine though.

Also what about a snake eel with a tessalata

Maybe one of the beefier one like a goldspot or a sharptail but the thinner ones have the same problem as the ribbon.

He's only small at the moment but happily eating 3 whole fish
Been about 5 years since I posted anything about her and yes she is still alive. Probably been in my possession since 2004, don't have a clue how old she is being she was over 2 feet almost 20 years ago.
Yes the tank glass could be cleaner. Since I started doing my home remodeling the room has been opened up more and I have been working on it slowly cleaning the tank glass better without upseting her. Once that algae sets up on the plexiglass it's almost impossible to get off. Anyone have any suggestions for cleaning plexiglass?

Mighty Magnets with the algae cutter bags work wonders on almost any thickness if you buy the right one. Not cheap but they work.
The 3/4 inch plexiglass can sometimes cause issues with magnets not working well. But thanks I will look into this and see if they have magnets that support the thickness of the plexiglass.

I bought one for one of the tanks I service, 1inch thick acrylic and the model that we got (which works perfectly) was only their 2nd or 3rd size from the smallest.

I'm not one to brag, but I got another one.
We have a third one at the store I'm holding for a guy that wanted one (another weirdo eel-collecting guy, who could've guessed?), but if he doesn't answer my calls to come get it I think I'll be happy to have three together.
The original kicked the new guy out of his patch of rocks, but hopefully that will change when they move into their permanent tank once it's set up. I've always loved watching multiple eels of the same species sticking out of the same hole, looks cozy for them.

I'm torn. My LFS has a pencil-sized Skeletor eel in stock right now, and I'm inches from the trigger. I've wanted one for over a decade. But in my current tank, I've got a large anemone that I don't trust not to eat it...
I'd have to grow it out anyways, but I'm undecided.

Anyone know what that coral is in the front, it's got such long polyps
