Fish of the Day 2 - i got that eel in me

Ribbon eels, also known as the leaf-nosed moray eel, are very fun creatures, if you've played ACNH you might've heard of them before!

Murex Marine Life Feature Ribbon Eels

Ribbon Eel facts:

-They are mouth breathers, the reason why they look like they're constantly screaming is because they lack gill covers, meaning they must pump water through their gills using their mouths. 

-Because of their gaping mouths, many mistake them to be aggressive. However, these silly creatures are actually one of the more docile and passive eel species! 

-They can have roommates! Ribbon eels have been spotted sharing the same hiding spots x)

-Those little leaf-y looking things on their snouts are their nostrils! They are sensory organs and they help make up for their poor vision.

-These little things can live up to 20 years!


Do you got that eel in u? I know I do. I think about these guys all the time
