thought since i've been bugging everybody with my questions i'd show you what all the fuss is about.
Heres a couple vids of my babies at dinner time...shrimp on the menu...sorry about all the streaks on the glass but it always seems to happen, perfect time to capture video equals streaks on glass you don't notice till after the fact.....lol

Was actually raw shrimp in the vid...cooked is not as good for them, that and they like the raw better

I have NEVER had a "FW" moray do well for me in brackish they NEVER eat until I end up droppin them in straight Salt and it works EVERYTIME they go from lifeless SKINNY eels to active HUGE eaters but only in Pure Salt I've never had one do well for me in brackish

Nice G. Tiles! Looks like they are healthy and obviously eating well lol Like "Fwlion" stated above, I have heard alot of people say they weren't able to get their "FW Morays" to eat until placed in a full SW system, so congrats. man! How big are they?

First off have had one of these guys for about 2 1/2 yrs so far first in low brack and finally in around 1.012 and he has never given me any problem about eating with exception of first couple weeks which is normal hunger strike thing they do. Up to the three you see now currently ranging from 1.010 - 1. 015 SG. 2 of them are between 16-18 inches in length and about an inch and a half tall and the new guy is around 14-15 inches long and about an inch tall. currently on a diet or raw cut up shrimp, raw cut up fish,
ghost shrimp and guppies. And any of there tank mates they decide to knibble on.

i had one for 9months in fresh water, eating perfectly, had to feed daily with a feeding stick to avoid him fin nipping fish in the hunter for food, but he did grow and eat perfectly.... ended up givin him up to a local shop after i got worried that fw was the wrong thing for him, but on reflection i just hope he ended up in a good home! It is perfectly reasonable for a moray to go its whole life perfectly healthy in fw, as long as it never gets too stressed or it'll stop eating n starve. I will always regret givin mine up and not knowing where he ended up...
