So here’s the deal. I’ve been thinking about fish I want to keep in the nearby future. I’m saving up for a house, as I mentioned in one of my recent posts, but I want to get an aquarium as quickly as possible when I get a place.
I want a tessalata moray as my first monster fish. I’m sitting on a 180 gallon that I was planning on using as a grow out for one, but I’m thinking now it would be a better idea to just build a plywood tank for one and skip the costs of setting up a grow out tank and then later upgrading.
I know nothing about making plywood tanks and was thinking of following the king of DIY’s plywood build almost exactly. That tank in his tutorial was 78 inches long 38 inches wide and 29 inches tall. My tank would probably only be 24 inches tall so I can get it out of my basement easily. Will these be enough for a tessalata moray if it is the only big fish in the tank? I’m told they’re aggressive so other than some fast damsels and cleaner shrimp (hoping the eel and the shrimp will get along so I can see the symbiotic relationship between the two) I wouldn’t try to keep anything else with it.
