I have a question concerning the feeding of my Starflake Moray. Is it all right to keep him on a diet of exclusivly goldfish? I've had him over a year and he has grown from 3" to 12". I give him one 1" - 2" goldfish a day. About two times a month he will not eat for about 3-4 days. When he does eat, he eagerly accepts the goldfish from my hand. My reason for concern is that he seems to have stopped growing. I have not noticed any growth for the last 2 months. Also he hides a lot more than he used to. Usually he would prowl the tank starting about 8:00pm (1 hour before 'lights out'). Now I only see him at feeding time. Water conditions have been stable. The tank is a 30 gallon. He is the only 'fish' in the tank. Any comments or suggestions would be greatfully accepted. hmeyers@afit.af.mil ************************************************************************ * Henry Meyers :+ The War On Drugs Is Just The First : * * Air Force Institute : Part Of The War On The Constitution. : * * of Technology : ------------------------------------- : * * :+ These views DO NOT reflect the views : * * hmeyers@afit.af.mil : of the Air Force.
