Yellow margin moray eels are one of the larger moray eel species. Best kept with other large fish. Small to medium sized fish may be eaten.
SIZE
May grow very large over time.
COMPATIBILITY
Safe with all corals. Will usually eat most inverts, and any fish small enough to be eaten. All Morays are capable of inflicting a bite if threatened or starving. Yellow margin moray eels are particularly fast and powerful, so care needs to be taken at all times.
SIZE WARNING! THIS FISH CAN GROW EXTREMELY LARGE, AND MAY DO SO VERY QUICKLY!
All fish with a large potential size may need special care, and may require a tank set up in a particular way to suit their specific needs. Large fish need a lot of space, even as juveniles they may need large tanks to get enough exercise to develop properly. Large fish may view smaller tankmates as food. Large fish may sometimes damage equipment and bite through power cables. Also bear in mind that large fish can eat a lot of food. It’s not unusual for 1 large fish to eat several packs of frozen food a day, which can be expensive. Large fish can be difficult to rehome, so do not purchase them unless you already have the facilities to house them at a larger size.
APPROVAL REQUIRED BEFORE PURCHASE!
You will need to verify that you already have experience with large, powerful, predatory fish. If housing this fish singly you will need an unstocked and running aquarium of 2,000+ litres. If housing with suitable tankmates an even larger aquarium may be required. We will video call and/or visit to inspect the aquarium for it before sending the animal.
