Description

A tiger moray eel, also known as the freshwater leopard moray eel, requires a large, spacious aquarium with a soft sand substrate, lots of hiding places, and a moderate water current. The water temperature should be between 24–28°C.

 

Tank size

  • A single adult eel needs a minimum of 75–100 gallons
  • Larger tanks are better for dealing with waste

Tank setup

  • Include live rock for hiding places
  • Provide a gentle current along the sand bed
  • Add areas of moderate water movement and some quieter resting areas
  • MUST HAVE secure lids, if you don’t, they will jump out… you have been warned!

Water conditions

  • Maintain a high KH
  • Perform frequent partial water changes to keep nitrate levels low
  • Consider adding saltwater to improve long-term health

Diet

  • Feed the eel 2–3 times a week
  • Offer large live or frozen foods like fish, squid, shrimp, earthworms, krill, prawns, and mussel
  • Avoid feeding pork, which is too fat

Tankmates

  • Avoid housing them with small, slow-moving fish
  • They may be kept in groups with other placid species that are too large to swallow

Handling

  • Avoid handling the eel directly, as they can be stressed easily
  • Use tongs or a net if necessary for cleaning or maintenance
