The Whitelip Moray is a fine choice for the smaller aquariums. However, as with other eels, it must be housed with tankmates it cannot easily fit into its mouth. On the other side, it should not be housed with larger Morays, since itself might be eaten. |

The Whitelip Moray (Gymnothorax chilospilus) is sometimes called a Lipspot Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 19.0 inches in length, the Whitelip 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 chilospilus 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.
