tanker Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 What is a good moray for a nano tank?? Tank is a 20Gal. So far just one maroon clown. Heard that there is a golden moray (Gymnothorax Melatremus) that stays small?? Is this true?? Where can I find one?? Link to comment
tinyreef Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 themarinecenter.com i don't believe it's a regular item (non-listed) so expect beaucoup bucks. i'd say over $500, easy. no live guarantee on those babies. i wouldn't be surprised if they went on the restricted list soon (or already). i'm frankly surprised they're not already on it since i believe they're a hawaiian species and i thought it was getting muy tough there. get an orchid dottyback instead imo. cheap at $40~$50.

tanker Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Thanks. Will try that site, but if it's 500 clams (pun intended) then maybe a d-back. But got my heart set on an eel. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 well, there are other affordable eels. i thought you had your heart set on the golden dwarf eel, specifically. sorry, if that was misunderstood. Link to comment
tanker Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 NO misunderstanding. I do want the dwarf golden. It looks great and I do want an eel that is veryyyyy small. U rite- they do not have one now, but us reefers are patient. Thx again. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Gymnothorax Tile would be a much cheaper and more redily available bet for you. It is a dwarf mray/ AKA brackish water snowflake. It is golden brown with white speckels. Some people sell them as fresh water morays but this is a huge misslable!!!! They are brackish to full marine only. you can find them here. http://www.aquariumfish.net/ I think they are only like 20 bucks a pop or close to it. Just make sur eyou aclimate it slowly to full marine bnecause they keep them in light brackish water. ( Then they wonder how they died!) I kept one for about 5 years in my 100 gal brackish tank. It was my fault it died or it would be here today. I didnt keep the top of the tank totaly covered one day and came home to my eel all dried out on my carpet. They WILL get out if your tank is not locked down tight. Make no mistake about it. They are very inquisetive little bugers and will go anywhere. Link to comment
