| Care: | The Zebra Moray Eel diet should include sizeable portions of meaty foods, fresh fish including clams, squid, scallops, and shrimp. The Zebra Moray Eel is an ideal moray for the community fish tank. It poses no threat to its fish tank mates or the aquarist, and is often out and about during the day rather than at night. A 130 gallon or larger aquarium must be provided with crevices for hiding that are large enough to conceal the eel's entire body. |
