A very bad canidate for the home aquarium. The White Ribbon does not fair well in captivity. Like its more attractive relatives of the Rhinomuraena genus, it is a hard to initiate feeding and it is prone to escape or disappear into the aquariums plumbing. |

The White Ribbon Eel's scientific name is Pseudechidna brummeri. Typically reaching a max size of about 41.0 inches in length, the White Ribbon Eel is semi-aggressive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudechidna brummeri should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, plenty of hiding places, and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
