Will the Spotted Moray (Gymnothorax Moringa) I have in my 75g be ok for life by himself? Right now I have him with the chainlink, and the fimbraited is going to the other 75g, all I need for that tank is water and then he will be in his own tank. But down the road I will be giving the chainlink away and keepin the spotted for the 75g so he can have that to himself, will I be ok?

I would think so. They get a little over 3 feet. That is average sized eel. Give it a shot. It may take a while for it to hit max length. When it does evaulate the situtation. If he looks cramped get a 90. If not then you are good tp go.
Im not all knowing when it comes to eels. I know what I know off what I read from peoples experiences and websites about certain fish. But Im far from all knowing. Im still a rookie.

due to the footprint of 75 vs 90 gal ..that wouldn't be an upgrade as for lifetime housing its hard to say how long that will actually be.. I would dare to say he should be fine..However if you find later down the road you need to upgrade then a 100 or more at 6 ft tank would be nicer for him..

Agreed 75 vs 90 are both 48x18 tanks. Go with a 60x24 footprint and you should be fine. 3'6" and I think it will be too small.
I have a 29-30" DME (maxes at 2'8") in a 75g by himself and he FILLS the tank, very active eel though. Don't think a 75g could handle an extra foot of eel.
Just my 2 cents. Get a 125 for life. I am planning a 240 square for my DME when we move 60"x35"x24".

thanks for the responses everyone, He is still just about 2 feet now has plenty of room in the 75g, as he gets bigger I will deffinetly consider a 125 if needed. The fimbraited will be ok alone in the other 75g though, correct?
