Yellow mouth moray

[alprazo]

One of my suppliers just brought a yellow mouth moray in, Gymnothorax nudivomer. Does anyone have experience with one of these?

Photos of the eel.

I have never seen one but it is beautiful!!!!! I think I just found a reason to set up another tank. Research starting now!

What a great looking eel. What is the going price for it?

I figured that it was rare. Really no mention of one here on RC.

The mouth is stunning, neon yellow.

I've decided against buying it. So it is still available. If interested, send me a PM and I'll forward you the contact number.

Will post a pick of the mouth if I get one.

It was sold when I called.

Just saw the eel yesterday. The LFS has decided to keep it. It is only about 8" long and by far the coolest eel I've ever seen. It grabbed a hold of the owners finger when he tried to chase it out of a conch shell.

One of my favorites,
I had one a few years ago, not as aggressive as others .
The bigger they get, the brighter that yellow gets in their mouth.
I heard you should be careful if they bite, it contains some bacteria.

4 year update. I decided to buy the eel shortly after starting this post. Before the bashing begins on the other occupant, it is captive bred, probably with the intent for food, but sat in a pet store for a long time. At $50 I figured I would give it a home. I have much much larger tanks to move it to when the time is right. So let's focus on the eel.

I do. It's about 4 foot and probably weighs 50 lbs.

Does anyone know of a supplier of these Moray's? I have been looking for one for a long time without any luck.
