I've had mine for about a year now. Im thinking about making my tank brackish now. I think it's better for them the older they get, Mine seems very healthy still though. -Neal
@@ScoobzNPetz my little tiger moray arrived and he is way less than the 14 inches I was led to believe he was, he’s a little cutie though. A lot smaller than Lilly was when you first got her.
@@That_0ne_guy_FL Thats good man, Lily was active too for the first few days but now she chills in her cave all day lol. Let me know when you post some vids !
Thank you!! and thats great to hear, glad your eels are doing well! 😁and yeah gymnothorax tile is the brackish one! Thanks i couldn't remember the name 😂
Yeah Gymnothorax tile, or the Indian mud moray is a great addition to a brackish tank! They are calm and mine eats shrimp and squid right out of my hand. Highly recommend them to anybody with a brackish tank
You have my dream tank I’m obsessed with eel like fishes and you have a tiger moray a rope fish and a peacock eel which are some of my favorite fish, but their is a severe lack of silver molies; sorry I just really like mollies.
Hello my friend, I'm in love with Lily. Back in the late 1980s, I bought a "freshwater moray eel" Gymnothorax tile, also known as "snowflake" or "Indian mud" moray. He was about 12" (30 cm) long, his name was Dave. He was in my 100 gallon (400 litre) "main" tank. Each year, I would trade in my big South American cichlids, clown knivs and silver arowana into the local shop that dealt in big tanks, and I'd pick up a handful of juveile cichlds, a couple of clown knives and a baby arowana. Red terror, green terror, Jaguar, Texas, they were my faves. In a year, they'd be around 12 inches (30 cm), the arowana would be over 2 feet (60 cm). And then I'd use the store credit I got from trading them in, and I'd buy something ridiculously expensive and exotic. Dave did great in that tank, all I ever saw him eat was live feeder goldfish. I had several critters in there who only ate live, so every Saturday was feeding time, I'd get huge amounts of feeders and crickets, and it was a frenzy! Dave would come out of his tube as soon as the peacock bass hit the first feeder. He'd come straight to the front corner of the tank, just in time for the first goldies trying to get away, and he would nail one every time! He'd take it straight back to his cave, gold tail sticking out of his mouth. I loved him, so did my friends. Often a small crowd would show up Saturday morning in anticipation of the frenzy, Dave was the mellowest, but he always scored. I had him for about 5 years, and then I moved him to his own tank, where he found a small hole in the top. The next morning, he was an "S" shape, all dried out, stuck to my carpet. RIP, Dave. Then I switched to salt water for a couple years, then got out in the early 2000s. Well, Lily and your channel have inspired me to give it another go! I'm getting back in, with the goal of having a 150 gal. tank with a tiger and a snowflake morays, and a couple American eels. And I will feed them much more than a goldfish each week!
Wow thank you for sharing your story, Dave sounds so cool. Sorry to hear how he passed, it must’ve been devastating. RIP Dave. Also I’m honoured that my channel and Lily inspired you to get back into the hobby! Good luck my friend and please keep me updated!
I feed her earth worms every few days and I feed blood worms to the tank which she also enjoys as a snack. Generally they can go few weeks without food but I wouldn’t recommend that
Just bought mine home today total impulse buy it's about 10 inches super cool hoping to keep it freshwater for a while what's your thoughts that's the most confusing thing is to go brackish or not
I’ve had mine in freshwater for over a year now and she’s been fine 😁 the tiger moray is the only true freshwater moray as far as I’m aware, there’s the Indian mud moray that looks similar which is brackish but if you have the tiger moray then you should be fine with just freshwater
😂😂😂 Honestly, I don't know. Never seen her do the actual pooing but I can confirm I've never seen any tootsie rolls either lol. Theres usually some red ish poo thats bigger than the other poo so that could be hers but can't say for sure
They are freshwater we have them in Australia they only returned to saltwater for breeding older species not breeding stay in freshwater
Oh I see! Thank you for clarifying ! 😁
Cool video man, love your enthusiasm!
Thank you! Appreciate it 😁
You’re so lucky with Lilly. She seems so calm and happy 😊
Yeah I’m so happy that she’s doing good 😁
@@ScoobzNPetz Me too 😅😬

Yeah I was thinking I may do the same once mine gets older, I read online they prefer brackish when they get mature
Wow Lily looks healthy!
Thanks bro! She’s starting to grow a bit now 😁

@@That_0ne_guy_FL Nice!! Hows he settling in?
@@ScoobzNPetz he’s alright, he decided he likes curling around my lucky bamboo plant more than hiding in his cave, he’s pretty active

Loved the update, my two are going great too. The eel that people confuse with the freshwater moray is the gymnothorax tile.. it's brackish :)

Hopefully your dragon goby has better luck with eels than mine did 😂
Yeah fingers crossed 😂😂 so far they seem alright, I named him Draco
@@ScoobzNPetz cool name!
scoobz be eating them scooby snacks lool
😂😂😂
We’re did you get the fresh water moray eel at ?
Wholesale tropicals in Bethnal Green London 😬
How often do you need to feed her, daily? How many days do they make without food ? Thanks.
I feed her earth worms every few days and I feed blood worms to the tank which she also enjoys as a snack. Generally they can go few weeks without food but I wouldn’t recommend that
@@ScoobzNPetz Thinking about getting one for my second aquarium.
@@omarbakir3423 I definitely recommend them, they are fascinating to watch and can become quite active during feeding time once they get comfortable
Scoobz my eel disappeared into my overflow tank and sump
Oh noo, they're escape artists you need to be careful. Try block off any openings that the eel can fit through. Did you manage to get it back out??
@@ScoobzNPetz no I haven’t seen it since December 12th
@@OffishalOutdoorGear If there is no way to open it up the only thing I can suggest is to try and lure it out with food. They can go weeks without it
I've had mine during 2 months. (About 8 inch)
i just wondering how fast grow up they are
They grow kinda slow, mine hasn’t grown that much in this last year but at the same time I can tell she’ll be quite big in a few years
Hello mate love the eel. What size is your tank?
Hi, thank you! My tank is a 200 Litre Fluval Roma. I'm planning to buy a bigger tank for the eel in the future if she needs one.

@@ScoobzNPetz thanks for the info
Would you have a pic of your eel
American eels and European eels are also catadromous. Unfortunately, they're both endangered. This means they're in danger of disappearing forever.
@@chisaquaticvibe6524 oh noo that’s so sad to hear.
how is their CRAP ? .. Is it disgusting tootsie rolls like BICHIR fish ?
😂😂😂 Honestly, I don't know. Never seen her do the actual pooing but I can confirm I've never seen any tootsie rolls either lol. Theres usually some red ish poo thats bigger than the other poo so that could be hers but can't say for sure
