CoralCrazy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 So after the meeting today we ran to grab what we thought was a chainlink eel for free from someone who needed to find it a new home. Well after getting home and getting the poor thing out of the bucket I found out what I really got was a 2 foot zebra moray eel. Put him in the tank with my my 1 foot yellow head moray eel and they cuddled up into the same hiding hole in the tank. Here is a picture. Not great but hes still trying to figure out his new home.

Rick Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice, I was checking into getting another moray eel last week as a replacement for the trigger my RBTA ate. (Hadn't decide which one yet) Ended up with the Blue Face Angel instead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Have my eye on one more eel. Waiting to see if a 3 foot Tessellate eel I have my eye on is still available. If so then I will be the happy owner of 3 beautiful morays in my aggressive and a cute little snowflake in my reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Heather you should check out the golden dwarf eel that Eddie has at Ed's reef. I know they are quite a bit more expensive but a really nice eel. I wish Beth liked eels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm going to have to upgrade my tank just so I can have more eels pretty soon. They are probably one of my favorites besides the lions. I have both fresh and saltwater eels. Theres something about a eel that amazes me. I really like my reef tank but I spend alot of time watching the eels when they are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 +1 On golden dwarf morays. Or other eels for that matter. My golden is my favorite fish by far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are quite a bit more expensive but a really nice eel. I wish Beth liked eels! Thats the good thing about Mike. Besides the niger trigger the aggressive tank is mine to stock. Mike is actually the one who has found all the eels we own. Hes the one who found the zebra and made all the arrangements to pick it up. The yellow head moray we have he found at Nicks and that is one really amazing eel to watch when its feeding time. He actually makes me think twice before I stick my hands in the tank. The lions are puppies compared to that eel. But he has the most amazing personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I might have been able to talk her into getting the golden drawf eel but I would be afraid it would crawl out of the tank. I was shocked she let me get a snowflake eel but it was tiny and cute and fortunately for me Beth doesn't think about how much they grow. They do have great personalities. You should think about getting a mantis shrimp. They are very cool too. Beth actually loves that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 My first eel jumped out of the tank. I had a family member make me a full screen top after that. Left a small hole for feeding and I cover that up every night. They do get big. If we get the third one then I will have 2 that will get around 6foot long. Definately will have to go bigger for my tank. Thats just going to break my heart.(laugh) Would love to upgrade their tank to a 500 and upgrade the reef to a 210 or bigger. I might have to build a bigger house for that though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
