Crowned with the honor of being the largest of all the Moray Eels, this is obviously a species that should be left in the wild or housed only at a large aquarium facility. Reaching over 12 feet in length, these behemoths are just not suitable for the home aquatic life. |

The Longtail Moray's scientific name is Strophidon sathete. Typically reaching a max size of about 145.0 inches in length, the Longtail Moray is 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. Strophidon sathete should not be housed in a tank less than 250 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 extra swimming area, extra substrate area, a deep substrate, and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
