With its elongated body, the **Blue Ribbon Eel** features a yellow head and a striking yellow stripe along its back. When fully matured, it requires a minimum 75-gallon tank. Ensure the tank has a secure lid to prevent escape, as these eels are adept at finding exits. A deep sand bed and ample rock formations are essential for their comfort.
