I have a G. Tile in my brackish tank along with 2 crazy fish, 2 zebra blennies, 2 brackish leaf fish, a flounder, a knight goby, and another unidentified goby that was marked as a mudskipper in the store but never goes on land (there are land areas for him in the tank though).
All of a sudden the Moray is going after my other fish. He has been eating krill with no problem and up until now hasn't been any trouble. But the other day he was chasing the knight goby and the mudskipper around alot, then gave up and went back to his cave.
Today, I just looked at the tank and saw that he had the mudskipper in his mouth, right behind it's gills. I managed to seperate them and fish out the moray as he immedietly went right after one of the blennies that went near him!
The mudskipper is way too big to be swallowed, and so far seems to be alright from the ordeal but its definitely stressed out. The knight goby and the blennies are probably too big to be swallowed for now but they could definitely get hilled by him making the attempt.
I dont know what to do with this guy. I don't have another tank to setup just for him. I dont really want to get rid of him, but iif I do decide to do so and if I take him back to the store they are going to set him up in freshwater as they don't have true brackish tanks.
Should I just try to feed him more? He's been eating about every other day. I try and offer him krill every day but he usually refuses it two days in a row. If I skip a day then he goes right for it again. He just ate late last night though and still felt the need to try and eat the mudskipper this morning, so I don't know if that will help.
