I’ve been keeping freshwater fish for about 4 years now, and I’m finally going to try to keep a saltwater tank. I’m going to be buying a 90 gallon tank and am thinking about getting one yellow head moray eel to go in it. I’ve read that these are very hardy fish. Do you think a 90 gallon is big enough? I don’t plan on putting any other fish in it besides the eel, although someone told me that cleaner shrimp make great tankmates for morays.
Any advice or suggestions would be great.

I am getting a 10 gallon fresh water tank. I plan on getting a convict cichlid. I want to get a cleaner shrimp, or a otto cat. But i hear otto cats like to be in groups of 2 or 3?
In your opinion, which should i get- a cleaner shrimp or an otto cat?
I forgot to add, I do not plan on getting a filter or a heater.
Should I?
Would the choice of shrimp or otto cat change at all?
ok i now understand that i need a filter and a heater
ok im realizing cichlids arent a good idea but i cant afford more than a 20 gallon tank at absolute most
any other good fish to put in it?

I am planning on getting a 30 gallon saltwater aquarium with a power filter, skimmer, heater, ect. I am aware of all the items needed for a saltwater setup. I know that you dont need RO water for a Fish only setup, or most FOWLR setups. I know it is needed for a reef setup. This is all the info I can gather from many websites and a few books. Can I use a conditioner to remove heavy metals, chlorine, chloramine, ect. from the tap water, then add a good salt mix (instant ocean), then age the water and add to tank during water changes, or set up. I know to use conditioned freshwater for top off. Will the conditioned tap water be safe for invertebrates such as cleaner shrimp, hermit crabs, emerald crabs. I know you need it for corals but I cant find info telling me if I need the RO water for inverts such as shrimp or crabs?

My LFS has these shrimp that are marked as Japanese Cleaner Shrimp. They are like, 4$ each. But to me, they look no different than ghost shrimp. They’re less than an inch long, maybe 3/4 at the longest and in a freshwater, ten gal female betta soroity tank. Is the fish store trying to jip unsuspecting customers, or is this really something different?
