    👋 Welcome to my channel where I make videos about my Fluval Roma 200, Fluval Roma 240 and my Fluval flex tropical aquariums. I put some focus on my unique fish such as my Freshwater Moray Eel, Fire Eel, Rope Fish, Ghost Knife, Snakehead and Stormii Catfish. I'm also planning to do videos about my pet Python Coco soon.
    You can expect fish tank maintenance, species spotlights, rescapes, general pet care, trips to the fish shop and other videos involving this topic. I'll also film the occasional vlog when I do something interesting or go on holiday.

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому

      That depends on what kind of eel you have. Most moray eel species are either saltwater or brackish so it may need some salt in the tank. If it’s a tiger moray like in my video, freshwater is fine but you need to do regular maintenance like water changes

    Hey
    I saw a UA-cam video saying we shouldn't touch the eel it's poisonous. Is it true? I have two eels, they are quite friendly they hang around my hand so i pet them.

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому

      It depends on which type of eel you have, there are some moray eels that are definitely venomous however after doing some research i found out that this particular eel (tiger moray) is not venomous or if it is it has a very weak venom. What kind of eel do you have?

  • @AshtonCoggins
    @AshtonCoggins Рік тому +1

    if the eel is the only fish i have in the aquarium would a 30 gallon tank be okay? because some say 30 gallons some say 120 gallons

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому

      It's a bit tricky, they pretty much stay in their cave majority of the time so technically a 30 gallon should be fine especially for the first few years. I've had mine for over a year now and she hasn't grown much so it looks like they are slow growers. However they do grow big so eventually I'm guessing a 30 gallon might not be enough. What's the biggest tank you're willing to get?

    What tank size do you need for the eel

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому

      Depends on the age, with a baby you should be fine with a 200L, might want to upgrade when they get older but that all depends on how fast it grows etc. I’ve had mine for nearly a year and the growth has been minimal lol

    How long can you keep it in fresh water before it has to go to brackish water

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому +1

      Well most sources online say that they live in freshwater most of their life and then move to brackish waters when they reach maturity however they’ve also seen tiger morays live their entire life in fresh water (in the wild) so you may not need to switch it over. That’s only for tiger morays though, most other morays will definitely be moved to a brackish tank after a few years. Hope that helped !

    Hi, I was thinking about getting one of these tiger moray eels in a bit. Do you think a 110 gallon aquarium will do? Also what's the most common reason that they would pass away? Lastly do you recommend keeping this species?

    • @ScoobzNPetz
      @ScoobzNPetz  Рік тому +1

      Hi, if you're getting a baby/juvenile and let it grow out you should be fine with a 110 gallon for a while depending on how many other fish you have in there.
      When it comes to the most likely reason for them to pass I don't know the answer to that sorry but I'd assume it would come down to water quality or them jumping out of tanks. Its vital that you have a tight fitting lid when keeping an eel. They also get stressed easily so it might be difficult to feed them at the start.
      If you've kept fish for a while and you have a mature tank with basic understanding on how to look after an oddball fish then I would highly recommend the fresh water moray. They are incredible! Hope that helped
