Show off your EELS!

This is my eel. At the store it was labeled as a "White Moray Eel", but from the golden speckles I'm inclined to think it's a Golden Dwarf, but it doesn't have the slitted eyes that they all seem to have.

Either way, I love this eel, and if anyone can identify it, that would be awesome.

Looked into it, pretty sure they are that color when a juvenile and then they will get darker as they grow

Definitely not a juvenile, it's about 12" long. After looking at pictures, it's almost certainly a Greyfaced/White eyed moray.

Thanks everyone!

I was meaning in regards to a golden dwarf, but I think I may have misinterpreted the post I was replying to.

This eel is definitely just a baby, from what I read on Greyfaced, should at least double in size. I'm just glad I didn't accidentally buy an eel that grows into a true monster.

How is the dragon with the others?

 

[Thomashtom]

Hi, he is not in same tank as ribbons , I would not put them together. Otherwise he is fine with the fish. Just have to be careful with size of fish I put in with him. Thanks

I just got word that my regional supplier, De Jong Marine, finally recieved some Golden Dwarf Morays (Gymnothorax melatremus) and have ordered a mated pair! My LFS, Coral and Fish Store Breda, is holding them for me until I get a glass lid made on my red sea reefer 350. Really excited! Just gotta clean up the tank a bit and move some rocks around so they have a place to hide- the only real cave has been taken by the spotted watchman goby and his shrimpy friends.

Say goodbye to the watchman goby and shrimp friends. They will be friends till the golden gets hungry. Mine shared a cave with a diamond goby for about 2 months and I missed a feeding, so my golden made his own lunch.

The goby is an absolute unit almost 5 inches long, it'll be fine. And if it turns out the melatremus are way bigger than expected I will remove the goby and shrimp to a temp tank and sell them.

Mine was too. They don't swallow them whole, they tear them a part. They do this neat spinning thing until a chunk rips off.

like a tiny croc? jesus
"fish safe" they said! ;Hilarious

 

[Webslinger]

Keep them feed and they are fine with my other fish. I don't feed him fish, just prawn, clams, squid...Don't want him to get a taste for fish.

LFS sent me this pic, both eels are in that skull ornament. So smol!

Settled in ok. There are two and they arent sharing a cave though, they are divorced apparentl. Absolutely tiny, about the width of a dime or nickel and 6 inches long
