Really don't think these guys get the attention they deserve.....

Being kept in 100% pure freshwater.

Thanks Wes! Really enjoy these guys! Soon to be monsters..... :)

They've been here a few months....

Fish base lists them at a 150 CM max size, around 5'?

Substrate is just pool filter sand, but the PH is very high here. Around 8.5 from the tap.

sweet. I am glad you went for them. Looks like yours came in pretty large. How many did you end up getting? I need to do a post on my group soon. Contemplating getting one more

Charney- They showed up quite a bit smaller then they are now. Once settled and hungry they've been picking up size pretty quick. I bet girth has easily doubled. There's a trio here now, but like you I'd love to have more...... lol.

Best of my knowledge they are caught in, kept in, and thrive in pure freshwater. Research leads to these being the only true Freshwater Moray.

Thanks for sharing and hope to see updates down the road to see how they do over a longer time in freshwater.

Interesting eels. Seem to certainly eat well.
