Green moray question

[JackiB]

Ok starting to plan a larger eel tank. I currently have a 150 tank that houses a very large and aggressive fimbriated moray. I would like to get a green moray (g. Funebris). The new tank would be a custom tank probably 10ft x 2 or 3 ft ( height undetermined). Would this be adequate to house both eels or would the g. Funebris be too aggressive for the fimby? I am really just in the first thinking stage but hubby really loves the green and would love for me to get one for him to watch while it takes my fingers off .

The tank is big enough but the fimby would be a bad choice for a tankmate.

why not go for something that looks somewhat similar to a green without getting as massive, like G. vicinus.

Moray, could you go into a little more detail why, if you don't mind? I assume it is the size difference correct? I believe I read in one of your posts in the past that you have a green, can you give me some details about your set-up and how it does?

rubensito, The size and colorations of the green is one of the most attractive parts

The size difference would be my biggest concern, fimbys although they can be fairly aggressive are not a very big eel and I have seen medium-large greens get very aggressive and teritorial towards other eels in the tank with them. Usually not real bad with other greens. Over time or depending on the size of the green you were to get, and i'm guessing it would have some size since finding/ buying small ones is not the easist thing from what I have seen it could either just kill or outright eat the fimby.
