Hi All
I purchased the most beautiful eel about two months ago. The guy at the LFS claimed it to be an Electric Eel. I have been unable to find any information about such an eel in saltwater. However, there is a plethora of info on the freshwater electric eel- which has no similarity to mine in any way, shape, or form (is not in fact a true eel).
Back to my question, the eel I have is 10-12" long, with fairly slender body type- in fact- he is physically very similar to my snowflake in girth, lenth, head/jaw size, etc.. His coloration is a dark purple, with a flourescent green stripe that runs the length of his body, and actually outlines the end of his tail to the ventral side. He lacks the huge jaws of dragon morays, and is most similar in body type to a snowflake.
He exhibits no aggression to his tankmates and is eating well- anyone have any ideas or resources?? Thanks for any help you might give me...
