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 have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?
Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…
