Laced Moray - in The Aquarium

In The Aquarium

Laced morays can be kept in the aquarium, however due to their large size they require a very large tank of a few thousand liters or more. Feed to saturation two to three times a week using tongs. Hand feeding is not advised as moray eels can inflict painful wounds, and have poor eyesight which makes it difficult to distinguish between food and fingers. Heavy filtration is also required to deal with the large amounts of food, and subsequent waste produced. They should be provided with a crevice within which to hide, this could be a large pipe (masonry or plastic as eels react badly to heavy metals such as copper).
