| Fast Facts | The Chainlink Moray is a secretive fish that will spend most of the day hiding among aquarium decor. However, in time it will become more brazen and move about in the open more when the aquarium is illuminated. This species can be kept with fishes that are to large to swallow (it is less likely to eat fish tankmates than many other morays). Some individuals will snap at other fish in the tank when food is present. Provide with plenty of hiding places. Feeds mainly on crustaceans in the wild. Like all morays, prone to leaping from holes in the tank top. | ||||||
