Mulle Muräna, Gymnothorax tile 1, sötvattensmuräna som äter sill!

Mulle Muräna käkar sill med god aptit efter att ha vägrat äta en längre tid, tills färsk sill/strömming presenterades för honom.

Diskussion om hur man skulle få honom att äta finns på Saltvattens Guidens forum på följande adress:

Hi!

In this film we just bought him, and we put him in a 29 gallon(US) tank. Soon we realized that it was waaay toooo small! After a while he stopped feeding totally!

After discussing the problem at a Swedish saltwater aquarium site, we came to the conclusion tha we had to buy a tank thats about 2,5 times his lenght! And the in that we had to consider that a full grown Gymnothorax tile is about 23,6 inches long. So we bought a 113,6 gallon tank to him. And then he started to eat right away!

We use "Red sea" salt for reverse osmosis.

Usally we keep the salinity between SG(SpecificGravity) 1.003-1.005.

Naturally the salinity can fluctuate in their natural habitate so we pending between the different salinitys.

What i understand they move out in full seawater when they get older.

If you not allredy havent seem them, check out my other films on him, at my channel!

how often do you feed him?

i feed mine every other day, and hes getting pretty big, i need to transfer him soon

[MedeasHusse]

Well we feed ours about every other day and he is growing every month. Right now i have to change the plastic tube, thats is his home, to a much larger one.

[MedeasHusse]

That tank was 104 litres, but we soon realized that it was way to small for him. After a couple of months he refused to eat and he kept doing that for several months.

Then we bought a bigger tank holding 430 litres and suprisingly he begun eating after 4 days in the new tank.

Look for new films soon!

Best regards.
