Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've shifted this thread to the saltwater section, where it belongs.

KaleidoRex, I'm going to be blunt - it's generally not a good idea to bring home a fish you know you can't provide a suitable long-term environment for. We've all been there, thinking we'll upgrade in a month or two, but life has a way of getting in the way. By the time your marine fish is showing obvious signs of stress, you've already waited too long to address the underlying issues. This can lead to a weakened immune system and a host of other health problems.

The biggest concern with a small fish like a chainlink moray in a small tank is the accumulation of waste. These predator tanks can get messy, which is why you need a lot of volume for long-term care. So, how's the tank filtered right now? Are you using live rock, and have you been keeping an eye on your water parameters?

I've been keeping an eye on the parameters and so far, everything seems fine. The eel is eating well and I've seen no signs of stress. The tank is filtered with a standard bio filter and I also have a good power head in there to keep the water circulating.
