was the tank brackish? aren't these eels pretty much brackish?Pomatomus;3599133; said:Not too sure. I had it for about 9 months before it started acting weird (swimming around the tank) and wouldn't eat anything. Even if I waved it in his face.
Everything I've read says that doesn't happen, but they definitely prefer some salt in regards to their behavior.smpage;3600029; said:Most likely died because it wasn't in salt water.
Echidna rhodochilus Bleeker 1863, "Freshwater White-Cheeked Moray". Indo-west Pacific; Indonesia and Philippines. To about thirteen inches in length... this is principally a marine species, consider it temporarily brackish. It occasionally enters freshwater... Generally only accepts live shrimp, small fishes as foods.Pomatomus;3600052; said:Everything I've read says that doesn't happen, but they definitely prefer some salt in regards to their behavior.
From your source, 1 inch above the information you got:smpage;3600069; said:Echidna rhodochilus Bleeker 1863, "Freshwater White-Cheeked Moray". Indo-west Pacific; Indonesia and Philippines.

"The purpose of this article is to inform the public and industry that these two species are really not so much "permanent" freshwater residents... but better considered brackish water organisms (spg 1.005-1.010). Though you may see them presented in "all freshwater settings" for sale, they are best kept in partially saltwater as long term possibilities."
