Hopefully yours will continue to eat, I've heard that they'll go on hunger strikes all of a sudden. Best of luck! |
The black ribbon eels are just young ribbons that haven't matured. As they mature they turn blue and become functioning males. When they get even older yet, they turn a gold colour and change into females. The females only live long enough to breed and lay thier eggs and then they die.
