Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 50 gallons (190 liters) for a single specimen
- Compatibility: Can be housed with larger, robust fish that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid housing with other eels or aggressive tank mates that might harass it. Best kept as a single specimen or in a very large tank with other morays of similar size and temperament, provided ample hiding spots are available.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-sealed lid as they are expert escape artists. Ample rockwork and PVC pipes should be provided to create numerous hiding places. Excellent filtration is essential due to their messy eating habits. Feed a varied diet of meaty foods.
