The ribbon eel[nb 1] is a sea fish that first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In New Leaf it appears only in the sea surrounding Tortimer Island and can be caught year-round, while in New Horizons it appears anywhere in the sea, but can only be caught from summer to mid fall. In both games, it appears as a uniquely narrow shadow, shared only by the eel and moray eel, all day long.

Real-world information[edit]
The ribbon eel, also known as a Bernis eel, has a life-span of up to twenty years, although they almost always die within a month of captivity. Ribbon eels often are within rocks or other enclosing structures and breathe with their mouths open, often giving off an angry or aggressive appearance.
