My Super-Cool Golden Dwarf Moray Eel
I added an amazing new creature to my tank today, I purchased a golden dwarf moray eel (Hawaii) today from TnT Fish & Pets in Houston, we have already named him “Morton the Moray”…Brad, over at GC Reef was the first person to introduce me to this species, of which I did some research on and found out that they were very rare and reef safe but $200-$300, and I never purchased one.
They are from Hawaii, usually a gold, yellow color with blue eyes (much like a midas blenny), they are moray eels with all the physical features and looks, but they only grow to an adult size of 12-18”. And, for the most part, they are totally reef safe and can be kept in tanks as small as 25 gallons. I do have two cleaner shrimp that I should be worried about, but from all the reading I have done, Morton’s mouth is so small that I think my large cleaner shrimp are safe. We will see how it goes, but most of my fish and animals are safe from harm…these morays have a pretty good track record.
Also, Steve aka Big Bird, we debated fish stores a few months back in Houston, and I have to hand it to you, TNT Fish is rocking right now with livestock, fish and prices. These golden dwarf morays are usually very expensive, and they had him priced at $100, and I got 15% DISCOUNT with my MARSHreef membership, making him only $85…everywhere you look on the net, they are $175 up to $300.
Anyways, I thought I would share with my homies, enjoy the pics!
