Banana Eel

The Gymnothorax miliaris, more commonly known as the Banana Eel, is a captivating species that brings a unique flair to any fish-only aquarium. This species is renowned for its striking colour palette, which transitions from a vibrant yellow to a deep, rich brown, mirroring the hues of a ripe banana. This distinctive colouration not only sets it apart but also acts as a natural camouflage in its native Caribbean habitat.The Banana Eel is an ideal choice for beginners in the aquarium hobby, thanks to its easy-care requirements. As a carnivorous species, it thrives on a protein-rich diet. We recommend feeding it with Gamma Foods, which provides a wide range of high-quality, nutritionally balanced food options. Gamma Foods' products, such as their Marine Quintet, which includes a mix of five marine ingredients, or their NutraPellets, which are slow-sinking and soft for easy consumption, are perfect for keeping your Banana Eel healthy and vibrant.While the Banana Eel is a fascinating addition to your aquarium, it's worth noting that it is not suitable for a reef tank setup.
