It is associated with freshwater and brackish environments, and salinity requirements can vary with life stage and locality. Provide excellent filtration, stable water quality, plenty of hiding places, and a tightly secured lid, as moray eels can escape through small gaps. Research its specific salinity needs before purchase and avoid keeping it with small fish or invertebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KeepingFishSimple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68045155598525,"sku":"LIVE-FISH-FRESHWATER-TIGER-MORAY-EEL-1PK","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2716\/2486\/files\/FreshwaterTigerMorayEel.png?v=1793172883","url":"https:\/\/keepingfishsimple.com\/products\/freshwater-tiger-moray-eel-15cm-gymnothorax-polyuranodon-live-fish","provider":"KeepingFishSimple","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
