The eel was friends with the scomb last time I checked and I knew the catfish would eat him soon that's why when he get's big im trading him in.

this is what i woudlve said too.
no way a 3" RTC could eat a 6" scomb anyways.
either way,most of those fish wouldve outgrown and eaten the scomb eventually.
also,check if he jumped out anywhere.
We searched everywhere around the tank for atleast an hour and found nothing. I would thing that there would be signs of a struggle anywhere like bits of fish or the plants being out of the gravel.

scombs arent very strong fish.

Morays make "friends"?? Morays keep their friends close and food even closer. I have a Dragon that lived just fine with Monos for almost a year. Few weeks ago it ate all 3 of his "friends" of almost a year. They are untrustable, hungry, predators and that's all there is to it...
And as far as the catfish you're renting, good luck rehoming it. I hope it all goes according to plan.

that isn't necessarily going to prevent a disaster with fish getting eaten though. either way, you would need to move fish around since they aren't all compatible, especially with morays, which should be in marine conditions
We asked around about it and everyone said at the fish stores that my fish are compatible with the moray.
The LFSs will tell you anything to make a sale. That's what they do. They try to sell fish before they kill them by not housing them properly.
A questions you need to go ask your LFS.....
How much of whick kind of salt do they recommend for your "freshwater" (cough
bullshibby cough) Moray?
Why in gods green earth would you listen to a LFS over hobbyists that can actually keep FW Morays alive? We have NO reason to lie to you. They would loose a sale if they told you the secret to keeping FW Morays alive. The secret- put them in the saltwater they NEED for them to reach the end of thier lifespan. Just cause some people keep them alive for a year or 2 or even longer does NOT mean they will reach thier full lifespan. Proven fact they need to end up in marine conditions.
I bet the LFSs love you if you're actually buying this crap. You'll figure it out eventually. I just hope you do before you get bitter towards a hobby that just seems to be an endless money pit cause nothing stays alive. Don't feel bad, most of us started out where you are. It's up to you where you go from here. Take advice or learn the hard way or any combination of the 2.
