Concern for Hawaiian Dragon... beh., hlth.
1/24/07 I purchased a 20" dragon for my LFS and he is
currently in QT at the LFS. I go up there almost everyday
and feed on Wed and Sat (grouper, snapper, shrimp). I have
noticed that sometimes he is only using one pouch to breath. <Not
atypical... not a large concern> I have smaller eels at home and
they have never done this so I am really concerned. The guys
at the LFS don't know a whole lot about eels and I am getting
scared. Please Help!!! Thanks D <I would not hold off on
buying, moving this Moray on this basis, and would feed it more like
twice a week at this size. Bob Fenner>
Re: Green Moray Eel, now Gymnothorax castaneus
(Panamic green), sel. - 04/14/08 Hey Marco, <Hi.>
Yes I do really like Gymnothorax castaneus as well but heard they
were horribly shy and hide all the time so I took them off my list.
Have you had any experience with them? <Not from the aquarium
trade, it's not imported over here so far. <Germany> I
strongly doubt it is generally much shier than G. funebris given
how many photographs of it in nature exist, and how often they are
seen by divers. This is among the top predators in the rocky reefs
of its distribution with not many enemies as adults. I'd expect
exactly the same as with G. funebris: The young often hiding, but
the adults quite outgoing and curious. These two species are
closely related.> I have a Japanese dragon eel in one of my
tanks and they say they can be shy as well but he's always out
and a bout and one of the least shy eels I've ever owned so
guess just comes down to the individual. <Exactly. There are
general statements possible and published about each species, but
not all moray individuals seem to read what we write.> I sent a
picture of my dragon eel with his purple Rhinopias roommate cause
you seem to be a pretty big eel nut like me lol. <How did you
come to this conclusion? Mmm'¦ looking around you may be
right. Thanks for sharing the picture!> Anyways thanks again for
all the advice always like to have all the info before I start a
new tank. <Very good. Cheers, Marco.> |
Expensive tastes! RMF
