Another member of the Gymnothorax genus. As with most eels, it will eat most anything that it can fit into its mouth. Always exhibit care and caution with eels, especially of this size. Once acclimated and used to accepting foods from the aquarist, the hand may be mistaken as a meal. If combining with other Morays, always check compatability and generally only mix eels of the same size. |

The Yellowmargin Moray's scientific name is Gymnothorax flavimarginatus. Typically reaching a max size of about 37.0 inches in length, the Yellowmargin 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 flavimarginatus 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 a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
