If it is a true green moray eel, then he'll reach up to 7ft long. If you have the tank to support such a creature then by all means go ahead. If not I would stay away...far far away! lol. Obviously there's a reason why it is so cheap b/c 99.9% of people w/ saltwater tanks cannot support this animal!

As for the shark; your 180 is not big enough for those either. They might survive, but cetainly not flourish in such confining space.

there are still primitive societies in east africa and south asia that have no luxuries and amenities which we as "modern" people take for granted. they don't travel but more than 5mi from their homes, are entirely self-sufficient, and function as a community. compare them to a fish tank where there is ample room for a fish to eat, sleep, and relax. and for those that want to argue about stunted growth... every species will adapt and evolve to their environment. either that or they will die. it's called evolution - *************************** for the sake of this duscussion, let's leave human creation out of the picture. ;)

No. Fish are amazingly adaptable, but just the fact that they have travelled 1000's of miles to our tiny aquariums and fed our prepared foods is adaption enough I think. No need to push it even more. Not to mention the DEFINITION of evolution is: "the process in which inherited traits become more or less common in a population over successive generations"

I have no idea what this means...

I will correct an important point I see, however. Species adapt (in this case we're talking about adaptaion, not evolution) over genrations. Throwing a 7 foot eel in a 200 gallon tank and expecting it to "adapt" or die is irresponsible. It will die.
