Moray eels and saltwater feeders

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
try these sites for food and also I feed my eel's squid, octopus, shrimp, krill, silverslides, and they do fine just make sure you get raw uncooked frozen seafood. Also mussel's, clams, and other invertabrate meats work good as far as live food I like this;

I got some more questions for you mr. Reef
How do you make there caves with pvc pipe? And will brine shrimp work as feed?
 
Do yourself a favor, don't feed live. Use silversides or prawn, here's the reason why. I had 8 Hawaiian Dragonface living together in a 220gal, when you put in live the moray competes for the food, your better off using tongs to feed each one this way you can control the growth of them cause there's always going to be a few bullies in the tank that catches more then the others. The males are more aggressive and the last thing you want is a hornless dragon
 
So use tongs to feed seperately and feed silversides or mollies?
 
screw the mollies.. Gymnothorax eels take dead food off of tongs without any problem, there's absolutely no reason to give them live food at all. I feed my G. fimbriatus whole table shrimp as a staple and occasionally silversides or raw fish fillet strips to diversify his diet, and as always a few drops of garlic extract in my thawing cup to make the meal more palatable and to fight off parasites.
 
what are the silversies full names?
 
Another thing to keep in mind, mollies have a higher fat concentration. You'll probably see problem later on if you go this route. Like a Mcdonalds cheeseburger diet for us, the liver will eventually shut down. Go for the dead foods. Whilst preparing for my tessalata I spent $12, and one trip to the asian market sorted me out with enough food for 52 individual feedings.
