I have had a 77g tank set-up for about 2 years now with an aquaclear 500 powerfilter/turboflotor hang-on as filtration, it also has about 100ibs of lr and a single fish, a 2 year old snowflake moray that is about 16-18" that is always active and slithering about, at the lfs they have a real nice 8-10" tesselated moray for dirt cheap and i was wondering if the 2 eels would go together? i know the tes, will get BIG but i have no reluctance to get a larger tank when necessary, the only problem is i dont want to get rid of the snowflake.
any help would be great!
thanks in advance
Jon

That tesselata is a small one? I'd do it. I'd plan to move the snowflake after a while, but what can I say, I love the tesselatas. But as you probably know, morays are totally unpredictable, and tessleatas have been associated with eel-eel aggression.
For what it's worth, my friend James has been keeping eels for many years... has 9 of them right now in various tanks...and he says the only eels he's ever had deadly eel-eel agression with are the greens.
