An commonly sold eel for its small size, yet most don't realize how large its appetite is. It will eat just about any meaty food offered, live or cut, and it is definatly a threat to smaller fish. However, it has been reported that when housed in groups, they may attack a much larger fish together in order to bring it down. So, best only one per tank. |

The Richardson's Moray (Gymnothorax richardsonii) is sometimes called an Assorted Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 13.0 inches in length, the Richardson's Moray is aggressive in nature and 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. Gymnothorax richardsonii 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 extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
