The tradeoffs, honestly
Morays escape through tiny gaps and will eat small fish and crustaceans. Larger species outgrow most home tanks.
Common questions
Which moray is best for a home tank?
The snowflake moray stays around two feet and is one of the easiest. Ask for the exact species and adult size before buying.
Is a freshwater moray a good choice?
Fish sold as freshwater morays are usually brackish or marine species. They need salt as they grow.
What should I check before buying, and should I quarantine?
Ask whether it is eating frozen food, and look for clear skin and eyes. Quarantine new marine fish to screen for parasites.
