3.5 ft green moray eating 8" fat gold fish.

This is my 3.5 ft green moray eating an 8 inch gold fish that was really fat. The tank is a 155 bowfront that the eel has to himself at the moment. about 3/4 of the way through the video, he comes out and shows his teeth and bulge in his belly.

love the eel i have a 22'' tassaletta eel ive had him a month and hes already ate 5 fish (4 xl damsels and a 6 1/2 inch lunear wrasse) any suggestions on getting him to stop

TessaIlata eels are awesome!!!! I agree with Runmanaburn. With that size eel you need to do large aggressive fish. I would stick with groupers, lion fish, triggers and puffers. I had problems with my eel trying to eat a 6" panther grouper I had, but this was when the eel was about two foot. Since then, he will not eat small fish at all, I guess its not worth it. I see it as us eating one chip, its just not worth it. Hopefully you will have the same luck as I do when he gets larger. Good luck!

you have a really nice eel but i think needs a 10ft tank at least + a 10ft would look really nice (are you ever going to upgrade ?

[nitelifesrt4]

He is in the tank by himself at the moment. I dont think he needs a bigger tank as of now, but yes he will soon. I would like to get a new tank, but everyone knows the economy is in the crapper and plus I am a senior in college. I will probably get something when I graduate. untill then, hopefully he doesnt grow too much. Thanks for the comment!

NICE moray! whats the dimensions of this tank??Filtration?I think he would love a 8ftx3ftx2.5ft tank BUT he still looks very happy at the moment.Great job..im loveing that cave/tunnel/rock work thingy you made,looks good.

Thanks! The tank is 6ft long, 2ft tall, and 2ft wide in the middle, but the ends are 1.5ft. Its not a bad tank but I still want bigger. I will never have a tank big enough, if I get a 300gal i will still want bigger. Its a never ending process:) They eel does great in the tank but has become less active since the other fish are gone. I am currently looking into growing a lion and grouper in a smaller tank to eventually put with him, but we will see. Thanks for the comments everyone!

Just keep him alone in your tank, or get a large aggressive fish that can hold its own.

he did not have to try too hard!
