A decent sized moray who adjusts to aquarium life very well. As with other eels, it may be reluctant to feed at first. Live food as usual is recommended to initiate feeding. Although it will eat feeder fish and small tankmates, this particular moray prefers dining on live crustaceans, such as fiddler crabs and grass shrimp. Once adjusted it will take most meaty foods readily. |

The Chainlink Moray (Echidna catenata) is sometimes called a Chainlink Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 28.0 inches in length, the Chainlink Moray is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or 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 catenata 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.
