Last night two of my three needle nose gars went missing and i prety sure that my moray ate them because he is freaking huge now. Right now The eel is about 10 in. lomg the other gar is close to 12 in. then i also have a black african knife thats 6 in. the problem i have is i have no tank to move any fish into now so im just waiting for my other fish to start disappearing. Does anyone have any suggestions that might save the remaining fishes lives?

Hmm. Honestly to save the fish's lives you need to seperate the moray. They NEED brankish to full saltwater.
No way a 10'' moray can eat a 12'' gar. Maybe when it's full grown..
 
The Needlenose would also appreciate a closer to brackish tank in order to be comfortable. I've had a 20" snowflake with some needlenose and have never had a problem. I once found a needlenose one morning with its stomach bite open. The fish was still alive but i had to put it down. :cry:
 
I've decided tommorow I'm going to go buy another tank to put the eel in and until its cycled I will just have to move some fish around temporarily. But thanks fo the replies.
