Freshwater Moray Eel (2’) – Rare Exotic Predator with Unmatched Character

Add a true showstopper to your monster aquarium with the Freshwater Moray Eel (Gymnothorax tile). These impressive 2-foot specimens are fully established, displaying the species’ signature sleek, muscular body, piercing eyes, and spotted patterning that makes them one of the most fascinating eels in the hobby.

 

Known for their snake-like grace and high intelligence, Freshwater Moray Eels are curious, observant, and bold feeders, often recognizing their owner and waiting near the surface at feeding time. They’re perfect for advanced aquarists who want a rare, interactive oddball predator that brings movement and mystery to any large aquarium.

Care & Behavior

  • Temperament: Semi-aggressive; compatible with large, non-aggressive fish.
  • Diet: Carnivorous – feeds on shrimp, tilapia, squid, and frozen fish. Will hand-feed once acclimated.
  • Tank Size: Minimum 180 gallons with secure lids; eels are skilled escape artists.
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 75–82°F
    • pH: 7.2–8.2
    • Hardness: 10–25 dGH
    • Note: Prefers slightly brackish conditions but can adapt to freshwater when properly maintained.

 

Provide caves, driftwood, and rock structures for shelter. These eels love to burrow and peek out from hiding spots while watching their surroundings — a behavior that makes them a true centerpiece predator.
