Freshwater Moray Eels

[bane]

There are 2 species of "freshwater moray eels" when in actuality they are brackish and survive better in a marine tank over time.

They are Gymnothorax Polyuranodon (the one with spots and name is Freshwater Moray Eel) and G. Tile (the brownish one with tiny yellow dots and name is Indian Mud Moray).

G.Tile is available at Seaview Jalan Kayu so question is has anybody seen G.Poly ??

The Gymnothorax Polyurandon IS in fact a true freshwater species. They are intolerant to salt. Gymnothorax Tile on the other hand is a species that does well in freshwater as a juvenile but requires full marine water in adulthood. Please do not confuse them together.

saw them at Aquaone(the lot near pinnacle)

G.Poly can be acclimatized to marine, biologically they can tolerate freshwater brackish to full marine.

i have successfully acclimatized them over say 2 weeks, slowly increasing salinity.

 

thanks nwyk153 for the spot... I also found mine opposite pinnacle.
