Eels will venture out during the evening looking for small fish, invertebrates and crustaceans. Do not attempt to hand feed or stick your hand in the aquarium near Eels as they may bite. When feeding use a long handled tool with meaty foods attached waving in front of them as most Eels have poor eye site. Provide a diet of meaty based foods along with live ghost shrimp, Grass shrimp or crabs. Keep only one Eel per aquarium as they can be quite aggressive. Provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid, Eels have been known to escape.
The Chain Moray Eel are also known as Chainlink Moray Eel. Commonly seen in the aquarium trade. Chain Moray Eel have very lovely yellow interlacing lines or lattice like work over a dark brown to black body color and yellow eyes. They can grow to almost 28".
