:thumbsup: Hello everybody, um im new here and the only way to post, is to post 5 times, so here is my first post . Sorry if it is in the wrong place. I keep getting lost on this site, and have typed paragraphs that I wasnt able to post :(
(freshwater) moray eel, I know they will eat small fish. Can they digest shrimp well? Can I buy fish at the grocery store and feed them little chunks? If so what kind of fish? Can they eat squid, lobster, shrimp, clam or crab chunks from the grocery store ? It would be really helpful if someone knows a site for (freshwater) moray eels , so I can find out when the eels need to be moved to brackish and then when to move them to salt, and how slow ;) Thanks in advance. :D

I have feed them pealed prawns no problem they are actually brackish fish but can survive to a reasonable size in fresh water.

Do you know if they are compatible with a colombian shark? And I think I heard needle nose gar are brackish water fish, is this true?

yay, now your pictures popped up really big ;) , my eels look a little darker brown , maybe its the gravel color or the lighting. Very happy eels you got there, when I worked at the lfs ,
I tried to pick up a dried crusty moray eel that jumped out of the tank and he turn around and bit the #$%&* out of me. sad to say to get him to let go , my reaction was to fling him , he smacked the ground hard, bit the @#$^%$# out of the cloth I was holding him in , and a couple days later he had a siezure type thing and died. ;{ I was pretty sad.
