Description
The Rhinomuraena quaesita, also known as the Blue Ribbon Eel or Rhinomuraena ambonensis, is a captivating species that brings an exotic touch to any aquarium. This species is celebrated for its striking coloration and unique behavior, making it a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts. The Blue Ribbon Eel is a carnivorous species, flourishing on a protein-rich diet. To ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for their health and vitality, it is recommended to feed them with Gamma Foods. Specifically, Gamma NutraPlus Soft Pellets Complete or Gamma Frozen Foods are excellent choices for this species. This species is not for beginners, as it requires expert care. It is best suited for a Fish Only type of tank, where it can display its natural behavior without any disturbances. The Blue Ribbon Eel is known for its intriguing hunting techniques, using its elongated body to navigate through the tank and capture its prey. One of the most fascinating aspects of the Blue Ribbon Eel is its coloration. Juveniles exhibit a stunning black color, which gradually transforms into a vibrant blue as they mature. This dramatic change in coloration is a spectacle to behold and is one of the reasons why this species is so sought after. At Tropical Marine Centre, we source our Blue Ribbon Eels from our exclusive supply line, ensuring that we contribute to the preservation of their natural habitats. We do not mention the clean-up crew or CITES status, as these are not relevant to the care and maintenance of this species in an aquarium setting. In conclusion, the Blue Ribbon Eel is a remarkable species that requires expert care and a suitable environment to thrive. Its unique behavior, stunning coloration, and fascinating diet make it a must-have for any aquarium enthusiast.
