First time poster.
I thought I would post a couple of pic's I took today of my Peppered Moray
Siderea picta. http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fi...ish/spicta.htm
I'm posting for a couple of different reasons. One to see if anyone else has a Peppered Moray, I have been to many lfs's and I have never seen any others. He is a great eel, and does very well with other fish. and is very hearty(that's another story)
I have had this tank for 5 years with as many as 11 fish & eel at one time, well I did something very stupid last week, I had the bright idea to add a sponge to the trickle filter, not from a fish story. Well I woke up to a very sick clown trigger,p.puffer, blue tang. I removed the sponge and was doing some water changes, but it was too late for the fish. The only one to live was the eel. Well this fish were kinda like children, and it was a sad day. I have kinda been disinterested in the tank in the last few years, but I think I going to start over. I have bought a chromis to make sure the water is ok. He seems to be doing fine. So I think that this bad event has got me back in the hobby. So I'm going to see how everything goes for a couple of weeks and maybe them order some fish from saltwaterfish.com. So if anyone reads this please don't use sponges that are not intended for fish. (And I knew better).
