Ophuira,
I'm curious about some of the SFW terms of service.... no links (even if not to anything remotely competitive), no private messages... I love this site and don't want to stir up trouble, but I can't see the reasoning behind some of the forum protocol. I wanted to send this via PM or Email, but the site and/or your settings won't allow. If you don't mind sharing, I'm Chipbridges@bellsouth.net. Thanks.

Links to other forums, which are often sponsored by or have adds for other stores, are not allowed as are links to sites that may be sponsored by stores. Links or discussions of other stores are obviously not allowed. Basically, SWF is a store, and as such have the right to request that their competitors don't get free adverts on their board.
Believe me, even I didn't always agree with this policy. And there are still times it irks me. There is a wink and a nod now and then. A "google such and such" to get to an article. But outright mention or discussion is not allowed.
However, after participating on several boards, I realized that I found SWF to be one of the friendliest boards I found, and believe it or not, one of the least moderated in general. On this one, you can pretty much predict what will be cut out...on others, it often was what a particular moderator didn't like in terms of advice that may be contrary to theirs.
There are several political and religious threads in the Aquarium for example, that wouldn't see light of day on many other big boards.

Definately a Fimbriated Moray...and definately a juvie.
I'd give you the link to my site, since we're not sponsored by anyone and only a predatory fish forum, but we got hacked a few weeks back and we're just now getting the site back up and going.
Another week or so and I'll be more than happy to give you the link...give us a little bit of time to get things worked out and the board back up and going.

Gymnothorax fimbriatus is one of the most aggressive little Morays you're gonna find. Think something like a Green Moray or Tesselata Moray, in a 30" - 32" max body.
As a juvie, I'd feed 3 - 4 times a week, small portions of fish (grouper, snapper, trigger, etc) and squid/octo. Feed until it refuses food, at each feeding.

Absolutely not, unless you want the fish to be eaten.
And...Ophiura asked that I not post the link, so I wont. It's also against the rules to post email, asking for links, so I wont do that either.

if i added a fuzzy dwarf lion now thats like 4 inches while the eel is still a small juvi... would he learn to not eat him?
also could he eat him because lionfish are poisiounous?

It will not learn to not eat it. It doesnt even have to eat it...they're instinct is to bite and rip away flesh.
And no, a Lion being venomous will not stop it from eating. A guy I know had a 6" - 8" Volitan that was eaten by a 28" - 30" Fimbriated and the Moray was just fine.

Exactly. Well, no fish that you don't consider food, anyway.
You'd probably be able to get away with keeping Damsels with it, to clean up the tank...but, expect to have to replenish them every once in a while.
