What if a green moray ate your hand off!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I used to pet my horn sharks when I had them and I actually like when a fish of mine gets the gumption to bite my hand once in a while but in your case I think that would be a bit much.I would'nt think that would last very long in there either.
 
He's beautiful! Hey you're not so crazy I do the same with my shoal of piranhas only my hand goes all the way into the water:nilly:

In the last sentence I left out lionfish.
 
That is one healthy eel! I can't believe how much he can eat in one sitting. You feed him once a week or twice a week?
