    Default blue ribbon eel

    Just a quickie guys.
    Long story short I have the chance of a blue ribbon and snowflake eel tomorrow. they were originaly mine but during the divorce my ex sold my tank and contents for pennies, over £3000 worth. Well just by chance I came across an advert for them and turns out I know the person so is letting me have them for free. Problem is I now have 2 clownfish in a new reef tank which is big enough for the eels but think the eel's may eat the clownfish any thought's would be appreciated I dont need advice on care as I have kept eel's for years and have had fish with them but they were tangs and large angel's
    thanks guys

    Our local lfs dont do credit and besides I would rather keep them. if i have to I will move the clowns to another tank which I was goona do in around weeks anyway as they keep mating laying eggs but they just get eaten by the crabs

    just a quick update I did move the clowns to another tank and I have the eels in and settled could not believe how much my snowflake had grown in a year he is stunning. and the ribbon eel is in fantastic health credit must be given to my friend who had them in doing such a fine job in giving them the care level they need. I also moved my blue legged hermits as i am sure snowflake would have loved crushing them up.
    I fed both eel's today off a feeding stick and they happily ate 2 fish each.
    Well done leon for taking care of them. I am so chuffed I could crush a grape
