G. tile go for $10-25 or so and are often found in your LFS. The polys I have owned have all been mail order from vendors on this sight (fugu puff and anothe about 10yrs ago that is no longer active) and ran $100-120 plus shipping as I recall.

Most G. tile I've seen have been around $20 at around 5", but I bought mine at 8-9" for $35, and my lfs occasionally sells 15-16" for $50.
Updates on the freshwater moray eels! Any surviving in freshwater for longer then a few months? Did anyone get better results switching to brackish or salt?
I think generally G. tile don't last years in pure fw...most long term success is at minimum in brackish. I had one 5+ years in light brackish..and more recently had one 2 years in sw. Personally found the species more robust when in sw.
My Echidna Rhodochilus (white-cheeked moray) was kept by the previous owner in full "freshwater" for a year, I say "freshwater" because he keep the eel in an aquarium with the water from the river in North Bekasi Indonesia where he caught it, and I don't know the salinity of that water.
Then I bought it, and now it's on my aquarium about a month, in low-end brackish water (I mixed river water with sea water to achieve that, about 1 part seawater and 3 parts river water, not tapwater).
The eel seems to be happy, it's eating my river shrimps. I am not yet able to wean it away from live food.

I forgot to add, my echidna rhodochilus is about 30-35 cms long, it's the maximum length for this kind of morays.
Amazing. How did you managed to do that? And what kind of pellets do you recommend?
