Ok guys I saw a freshwater moray eel at my local fish store, when I inquired about it being brackish he said nope they can live in completely freshwater. He even went on to say he kept one in a 30 gal tank with some freshwater flounder for almost 3 years. So I really liked this little guy, and went home and did some research and found almost every article refers to them as brackish water fish. Has anyone kept these guys in only freshwater. Oh on a side note this was not a snowflake eel.

Gymnothorax tile and Echidna rhodochilus are often sold as "freshwater" but is best kept in brackish water.
