i have separated my cories, platy and albino red fin sharks, right now they are adjusting with goldies, soon i m expecting another tank. then i can separate out the eel.
well If you use one cup of marine salt per 5 gal water you will have 1.005 on the tester. also the eels like small meaty foods in small bites it isll swallow it like a snake wil, it can't chew muchl
At what size would you introduce them to a full marine environment? Aren't a lot of brackish fish pretty much in an inmature phase on transition to a full marine or f.w. environment? Just curious they had a pretty cool looking f.w. moray at my lfs and thought hmm wonder how fw. you really are. I was planning on putting it in my 50 gal s.w. tank would there be a problem? I've succesfully kept mollies in full strength s.w. and was sort thinking the eel might help me out a bit with molly population controle,
