Morays are predators and require meaty foods such as fresh and frozen fish, crustacean flesh
and krill, using a feeding stick.
Adults only require feeding 2—3 times per week, juveniles need more frequent feeding.
Morays can be kept with other Morays if the Aquarium is large enough, they are commonly seen swimming out in the open, but make sure you should provide them with rocky lairs in which to hide and they will settle quickly into aquarium life.
They are peaceful towards tank mates that they don’t see as a potential meal.
Rule of thumb if it can fit in it's mouth it may become food, but if well fed and in a good aqruarium enviroment then they can leave other tank mates alone.
They can be very aggressive during feeding time and have been know to latch on to other fish during the feeding frenzy.
Because of the size to which they can grow, they require a minimum tank size of 120 litres.
As with other Eels, a tight fitting lid is essential to prevent them from escaping.
They also need powerful filtration because they are messy eaters and produce a lot of waste.
