Thanks for the advise. I had read somewhere that the tesselata was not that aggressive toward other tank mates and it was the only moray worth having in the tank because the other morays got to big and mean. I guess that's a bunch of bs. could you recommend some morays that might not get so big and aggresive? i have had my fish now for 2 years now and i would like to keep them out of the food catagory. Thx, Dean
:Tesselata is a very aggressive eel and activily hunts. I wouldn't put it in the 90gal tank right now with the other fish specially the cimmon clown because of the size. In the 200gal tank you should be ok for a while, just make sure that you have alot of hiding spaces for the fish. The Tesselata will get very large and very aggressive so he will attack most of the other fish.

::i am about to add a tesselata eel to a 90 gal tank with a good size lion, a 4" clown trigger, a 5" panther grouper and a 3-1/2" cinnamon clown. i am shopping for a corner tank around 200 gal. for these guys to move into. i am trying to get the eel at 1-1/2' long. i am just looking for feedback to make sure all my fish stay happy with the addition of the eel and what i should know about the eel to make him happy :) thx, Dean
