Rhinomuraena quaesita Juvenile – Black Ribbon Eel with Yellow Dorsal
Rhinomuraena quaesita, better known as the ribbon eel, is a marine species with an exceptional life cycle. Being protandric, it is born male with a black color and a yellow dorsal, then becomes an electric blue adult male, and ends its life as a female, displaying a bright yellow hue.
The juvenile form, particularly sought after in marine aquariums, is distinguished by its intense black snake-like body contrasted by a bright yellow dorsal. Its elegant appearance, enigmatic behavior, and spectacular metamorphosis make this eel a true living jewel for informed enthusiasts.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 500 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 28°C
- pH: 8.2 to 8.5
- Décor: rocks with numerous narrow caves
- Flow: moderate to strong
Important: This eel is very slender and can escape through gaps of less than 1 cm. It is essential to fully secure the tank (covers, grids, overflow protection) to prevent any escape.
Behavior and Compatibility
Rather solitary and discreet, the juvenile ribbon eel spends its days in rock cavities and emerges mainly at dusk to feed. Although impressive, it is not aggressive towards medium to large fish, but may consume small fish or shrimp.
It can coexist with calm and non-territorial species, but a specific or semi-specific aquarium is often recommended to ensure its well-being.
Feeding
Carnivorous, the Rhinomuraena quaesita juvenile ideally feeds on:
- Small defrosted fish (sand eels, anchovies, silversides)
- Small gray or white shrimp
- Enriched XL Artemia or mysis
Targeted feeding with tongs is recommended, especially during the first weeks following introduction.
Why Choose Rhinomuraena quaesita Juvenile?
- Spectacular black and yellow juvenile color
- Species with a fascinating life cycle (protandric)
- Mysterious nocturnal behavior
- Compatible with well-secured specific aquariums
Rhinomuraena quaesita juvenile is a prestigious choice for passionate aquarists seeking a rare, aesthetic fish with unusual behavior.
