✅Lifespan
ommon name: Tiger Eel, Freshwater Morayeel, Freshwater Moray eel, Morayeel, Moray eel
Average Adult Fish Size: 100 cm in captivity
Place of Origin: Indo-West Pacific: Philippines and Indonesia. It inhabits river estuaries and coastal areas, found in freshwater river and brackish conditions.
Typical Tank setup: The Gymnothorax Tile are easily stressed if not the right environment is provided. The most important part of creating this environment is to create a lot of hiding places for the eel like caves. It’s essential that the aquarium bottom is covered in sand as the fish often spend time burrowed into the substrate. Gravel is not recommended as its sharp edges can damage the eel’s skin. The tank cover must fit very tightly and be suitably heavy, or the eel will be escaping.
✅Recommended Minimum Aquarium Capacity: 120 gallon / 450 litre
Compatibility: The Gymnothorax Tile likes to feed on fish by nature but will not usually attack any fish too large to be considered food. Given the adult size however, tank mates should be chosen very carefully.
It is very happy in the company of its own kind and is often more confident and outgoing when kept in this way. A group of these kept in a suitably large tank makes a spectacular sight.
Temperature: 24 – 28 Deg C / 75 – 82 Deg F
Water chemistry: pH 7.0 to 9.0
✅Feeding: They are considered a tricky species to get feeding in captivity but in reality not too hard if its basic requirements are met. When kept in freshwater it is generally far more difficult to induce to feed than if maintained under brackish or marine conditions. They may only show interest in live foods such as river shrimp initially, but will usually adapt to dead eventually. Prawns and white fish such as lance fish are the preferred foods, but they will also take earthworms, mussel and other meaty foods. Dried foods are rarely if ever accepted.
Sexing: Unknown

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
