This eel exhibits behaviors typical to most Morays. It is a threat to anything it can fit into its mouth and usually has to be coaxed into eating when first introduced to the aquarium. It can fast for many weeks before it "decides" to eat. |

The Comet Moray (Gymnothorax meleagris) is sometimes called a Whitemouth Moray or a Guineafowl Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 44.0 inches in length, the Comet Moray is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately 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. Gymnothorax meleagris should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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.
