A great choice for aquarists who have small tanks, since it will not grow very large at all and can be kept with a wide range of fish that are larger than its mouth. They keep pretty much to themselves in the wild, so best to have only one per tank. Can be kept with other smaller moray species, though larger eels may be a threat to it. |

The Chestnut Moray (Enchelycore carychoa) is sometimes called a Viper Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 14.0 inches in length, the Chestnut Moray is semi-aggressive 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. Enchelycore carychoa should not be housed in a tank less than 20 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.
