Fire and Moray Eel HELP!!!!

[jclyde13]

You need to get rid of the eels, the flowerhorns, and the African cichlid. The fire eel will get far too large for your tank, the moray needs brackish water, the flowerhorns will cause aggression problems later on, and the African cichlid just shouldn't be with the rest of those fish (they generally do best when kept with other African species).

And btw, what do you mean by "albino stomas?"

No i have the Freshwater moray eel not the saltwater ones...... i am sure of that

Even if you bought the Moray Eel as a "Freshwater" Moray Eel, as I did it is still most likely not a true Freshwater Eel. Gymnothorax Tile or the Freshwater Moray Eel only spends part of its lifetime in freshwater in the wild. Mine is also currently living in Freshwater, but I realize that when I notice a change in behavior such as loss of appetite or heavy breathing, I will place it then into a Brackish aquarium where I will add salt until it is in a marine environment. I have heard of and seen pictures of large (26 inch) Freshwater Moray Eels living perfectly fine in Freshwater, but if you want it to have a full life, then it needs Brackish to Saltwater. I feed my "Freshwater" Moray Eel live rosie reds/fathead minnows and live goldfish. I also feed my spiny eel live blackworms.

Unless you have gymnothorax polyuranodon, which you don't, your eel is not going to live long term in fw. Neither the common g. tile or echidna rhodochilus (aka white cheek moray) are truly fw fish. I've kept g. tile in saltwater and they become very robust and active (for an eel).

To the above... Why do you feed minnows and goldies to the eel? It should readily accept better items like squid, shrimp, silversides.
