An ideal eel for the community tank. The Zebra Moray is so passive it typically never bothers its tankmates, even when the fish are small enough to swallow. However, it will eat ornamental crustaceans and often they are needed to initiate feeding. Use fiddler crabs to start the feeding process and gradually move into fresh cut meats. |

The Zebra Moray (Gymnomuraena zebra) belongs to the family named Muraenidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 42.0 inches in length, the Zebra Moray is passive 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 rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Gymnomuraena zebra 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.
