Aquarium Advice Newbie
I bought a ribbon eel about three weeks ago, he seems to be eating and active, though he keeps trying to escape (and actually did once, had to catch him under my bed) Since his capture, I started turning from brilliant blue to a darker blue almost black. My feeder shrimp often picks at him which looks abusive but I dunno and where he does pick at the eel, I can see spots of his original color. It almost looks like there is algae growing on him or somthing. I would have guessed ick but it's not white. Anyone have any experience with this. I have a 35 gallon eclipse 2, temp: 82. I have two firefish, three hermits, two clowns, a bi-color blenny, turbo snail, feather duster, and a plate coral. Everyone else seems healthy and happy. Thoughts? Thanks - Eric
