Care & aquarium requirements

For large systems and public aquaria, eels and small sharks make commanding specimen animals. Morays are tough and long-lived on a meaty diet, and the spectacular Blue Ribbon Eel rewards the experienced keeper.

Compatibility & reef behaviour

Predatory by nature, these animals consume anything small enough to swallow, so companions must be large. Eels are renowned escape artists needing secure lids, while sharks and rays demand space and excellent water quality.

Export packaging & shipping

Because of this species’ size, strength or special handling needs, it is bagged individually in heavy bags with extra oxygen and insulation. As with every shipment it is conditioned and purged beforehand, then routed for the shortest reliable transit to keep arrival stress to a minimum. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
