Gymnothorax Polyuranodon true freshwater moray
- Thread starter FishOnCampus
- Start date
The Gymnothorax Polyuranodon is not a true fresh water moray. There is actually no such thing. They are great creatures though. If kept in fresh water after about 12" they will slowly diminish. They need slightly brackish 1.010 to 1.021 to thrive. They are often born in freshwater, but not necessarily, because they live in river estuaries near the ocean salt water. The adults are usually found in pure salt water. wonderful creature especially when kept with two tank mates or more.
You are rather ignorant to say this is not a true freshwater eel like G. tile. This species come from landlocked region of Indonesia. Large specimens are caught in freshwater and large amounts of research has been done proving this is indeed a freshwater fish. Yes it is found in salt and brackish water, but it is all about the collection point. Please, go buy and read the book about this fish before posting any further and spreading false information.
And no, I am not hard headed. I know there is no such thing as freshwater bbg. Please do not take offense for what I say above.
He eats tilapia and carnivore pellets

I'd switch from tilapia to cod, pollock, or halibut. They contain more omega 3 and less omega 6 than tilapia. Have you considered keeping a couple of marble crays in a separate tank to provide larval crayfish as food for the eel?
You are coming on a bit too strong. Aboslutely no need to talk to your fellow members in that tone ( even when apologizing afterwards )
Apologies are best avoided, not given.

Seems to me that he is spot on. Maybe dude should have done some research before commenting on this post.

I come on strong because everybody is so quick to jump and say "oh, it's not really.."
This 'jumping' has made posters like AshDavid leave, inspirational hobbyists that bring such life and excitement to the forum. He hasn't posted a thread since 2009. I apologize Vanman for jumping down your throat, but this is my perspective on things.
This being said, let's just get back to whats important, THE FISH
Oddball, Thanks for the advice I will definitely give those fillets a shot. I've fed him/her some African cichlid fry too and was thinking about the marble crays this afternoon actually. Hopefully in the near future
