Dwarf Golden Moray thread

mmmm very good points tony, I can easily see the three being a reality.

Sarah, how about computer fans? Or an open topped canopy? ...or both. You would have to worry about making the canopy flush to the tank's rim of course, but you could probably DIY with a big O-ring made of flexible airline tubing. or even a rubber skirt (would probably look uglier than the o-ring). Personally Ive never been much of a fan of glass tops; i like my aeration.

edit: lol can you tell Ive planned a tank for these guys before? also: thread successfully jacked.

My canopy is 3 sided...and lighting attached to the top of that.....he could only get out the back of tank. I have a fan on the sump right now just to keep the heat down...it's brutal. This room has the least amount of air movement even though we have AC and an HRV!

Nice hijack though .....at least this is informative and helps others to see the challenges of a dwarf eel!

Mated pair? To my knowledge there is no way to sex them, although they have been reported to pair up in captivity...and for 2 that would be a reasonable price. 2 in a 20G, not sure about that but I would not rule it out, that being said I would probably not recommend it to someone.

I do not have a cover on my tank, I do however have eurobracing. I have imported these before and have never lost one due to escaping from the tank.

I'd love to get a second one but don't think I'll put 2 into the 20g.

Dave and Chaloupa, do you have covers over your tanks? (I'm assuming not)

maybe try eggcrate with screen atached to the top

Mine decided to jump, but luckily I found him before he was totaly dry (he had been out quite a while, all sticky and covered in crap). Thru him back in and he recovered.
