feeding a zebra moray

[cyclops23]

alright, i've had him(i call it him cause i named him Bender and for lack of knowing if it's a guy/girl ) for a month now and he's really cool! he's actually out quite often, and is eating well. i've been feeding him frozen krill, and he eats it like there's no tomorrow. i want to add some variety to his diet, and hopefully help out my wallet. that frozen krill isn't cheap, and he eats a lot. what do you suggest? i'm going to the supermarket to see if i can find some shrimp, clams, squid, etc. i was just wondering what other people feed theirs.

I have a goldentail and a snowflake. I feed them squid, shrimp, scallops, krill, whatever frozen uncooked seafood at the grocery store that looks good. I only give them krill occasionally. They're fat and happy.

silversides work well too. but can be expensive, but always buy bulk.

thanks! i really like this guy, i just wish he didn't get so big. he's around 2' right now.

mine's almost 4 feet long, when I got it, about 7 or 8 years ago, it was under 2 feet.

Jehmco has bulk frozen krill and also frozen feeder fish (smelt) if you're using alot.

mine only eats formula 1 cubes and krill if yours will eat shrimp and squid from the grocery store go for it and vary the diet

 

[cyclops23]

yeah, a varied diet is what i'm going for. so far, all mine has eaten is krill. if he doesn't like anything else, oh well, at least he's eating

Zebras are Crustacean eaters. Do not feed him silversides. I either buy live shrimp and fiddler crabs at a bait shop, or I buy my 2 Zebras frozen shrimp at the supermarket.

Shrimp tails are not as good as whole shrimp.

Find a asian market near your house. You can get all kinds of whole seafood for cheap prices.

I have fed cuttlefish, snail meat, squid, octopus and all other kinds of stuff.
