Description
The Tiger Moray Eel is a unique species to add as a bottom dweller to your aquarium. They look very similar to marine Moray Eels. The Tiger Moray Eel will grow to be 2 feet in length and will need enough space. This species can thrive in both freshwater and brackish conditions. In the wild, they are considered obligate predators and should be housed with tank mates larger than their mouth. Try feeding them freeze dried brine shrimp and other meaty foods. Because Tiger Moray Eels are famously picky eaters, try first offering live foods. Like marine Morays, the Tiger Moray are known escape artists and should have a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from ending up on your floor.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
