| Care: | The diet of the Green Moray Eel should include live fish and all meaty foods. There are accounts of individual specimens growing over five to six feet long in an aquarium. Only one eel should be kept in a tank, as they are very territorial. The Green Moray Eel is also an escape artist, and will try to go through any small opening in the lid of the tank. Given these characteristics, and the fact it can inflict severe bites, the Green Moray Eel should not be kept by most aquarists. Another reason |
