A common eel in the fish trade. The Banded Moray readily adapts to the home aquarium, but it must have live crustaceans to initiate feeding. It can eventually be persuaded to eat fresh cut fish and crustacean flesh but this will take patience. As with most eels, keep with individuals larger than it can fit into its mouth. |

The Banded Moray (Echidna polyzona) is sometimes called a Ringed Moray or a Barred Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 24.0 inches in length, the Banded Moray is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Echidna polyzona should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
