Yeah...it wouldnt be a good idea to actually give it to someone that actually has the proper habitat for it. lol
I'm sorry...did we get off on the wrong foot or something? Have I done/said anything to make you irritated at me or something? :notsure:

he is doing good, i have glass canopy duct taped down, there is no way he is getting out, i had a tess get out the first night i had him and i said i would never let that happen again, he pushed everything i had on the top of the tank right off very stong eel. I thought he was dead and i went to grab him and he almost got me, put him back in and 3 days later he was all better. but the green morey is by far my favorite eel. thanks again jason

it says you couldnt even get your 300 in the basement, and that was your biggest tank and secondly you dont believe in tops for aquariums? all eel, i repeat all eels try and get out at one point in time. dont get to cocky or you will loose one. i have lost a couple of small ones and almost the big one, and i understand that you care for the best interest of the eel but you came across like a real jerk. thats why i said that you would be the last person i would give it too. if i miss interpreted it im sorry but thats the way i took it.

Not a jerk, at all...I'm actually a really nice guy.
And...not to sound "cocky", as you put it...I know exactly what I'm doing and you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. I have a very extensive knowledge of moray species and what you have is a monster.
Adult morays are alot different than juveniles. Keep adults happy with top water quality, plenty of rock work, fed on a regular basis and they're happy just where they are. I've had both of my Morays, as well as others in the past, in tanks with no tops...for years (not weeks, not months...years) and have never had one attempt at escaping.
You say your other fish and ray are "doing just fine" but please, dont be afraid to post here on the board and let us know when that Green eats them. It's not a matter of IF...it's only a question of WHEN.
The 300gal. will not fit into my basement...you are correct. That doesnt mean I dont have any place to set it up. And, as far as the pond...you build those on site.
Hopefully, since I'm a "jerk" and even if you needed to, you wouldnt send the Green to me, I just hope that you've thought far enough ahead and have enough room in your house for a massive tank, for the Green alone...or, you've got someone in mind that can give it a proper home.
