yup they were i went in today lookin for a tank mate an saw them i want one so badly lol

the one lady said i could put them both in with my oscars an jack an it wouldnt be over stocked an i wasnt sure she knew what i was talkin about lol


but what about the midas in the classifieds would he be ok in my tank ?

12" moray eels? I thought Morays where saltwater. how much are they?

[ambushman2j]

the tag on them says freshwater mooray eels..I don't recall the price, I have only had 2 shifts since we got them in and since they aren't exactly something everyone wants..lol I don't recall the price

midas cichlid would do fine with oscars

dpatte, "freshwater" morays actually need more and more brackish conditions, eventually going almost full marine.

Freshwater Moray ID link is a good read.

Moray article
White Cheeked Moray

We are blessed at that site to have some really knowledgeable Moray and Brackish people. I wouldn't add one to a tank with Oscars. After all, O's eat worms!
