Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok so im a 14 year old aquarium hobbyist
So at school today i heard this kid a couple years younger than me talking about his "freshwater moray eel"
I had talked to him before so i went over to ask a few questions since i have looked deeply into eels for one of my tanks on several occasions
I asked if it was salt or fresh
He said he was keeping it was in FRESHWATER!!!!
i then tried explaining to him that there are no true freshwater moray eels and that morays require brackish/marine water
"but its a FRESHWATER moray eel!!" He acted like i was an idot
Slightly offended i asked what tank setup he had it in
He was keeping a 7inch eel in 20GALLONS
at this point i was really pissed at this kids attitude so i again tried to explain that his eel wont be healthy in that tank and that morays require at least 90-100 gallons
He was also keeping a "dragon eel" in the tank which i assumed was a dragon goby
After about 10 minutes of arguing with the idiot i just walked away
I felt bad so i decided to send him a few links on how to PROPERLY care fir his eel
When i saw him later in the day is reaction was "i dont care"
What do i do???
THIS IS LITERACY TORTURE
How long does the moray have in freshwater if he claimed to have had it for a month???
He also said that he's putting a teacup stingray in the tank
*facepalm
