this is what my yellow headed moray looks like it only gets 30" so your most likely able to keep more kinds of fish with it

It's because your a girl

Touche! lol

I've been looking into Gymnothrax Melatremus (sp?) for my 55. He stays tiny and is even tempered, or so the web says. And my LFS can get me one for 160. The cheapest price online is like 350! (USD) Look into that one, OP. I'm liking what I see so far.

Check out Zebra eels. I'm a big fan of my zebra. They are completely fish safe and most only grow to 48".

Snowflakes are good beginner eels, they are hardy and aren't as picky as other eels...

I generally agree with all the advice given. Do you know how big the eel you are thinking about getting is currently?

Also, some groupers get big enough to eat some eels, although in the case of a Tesselata I doubt it.

Plenty of colorful alternative to the tesselata exist. Definitely agree with whitemouth, a gorgeous eel gets large but not to level of size and aggression that tessies get. Blackedge morays are cool too...not too big but very active and outgoing

This is what this beast can turn into.... watch how thick it is as it swims around. Tesselata "Leopard" Eel. Can grow to 60 inches.... That all being said, I'd get it, looks sweet.

I have a 14" remora that should be about 18" thanks to a tessy. Bit him in half. After he lived for about 2 months at the Lfs I took him home. The same tessy killed a 25" horn shark. They're nasty
