Well since I got my morays I haven't seen them eat at all.
Last week I introduced orange chromides and some knight gobies.
In the first night 1 of the chromides died and was floating, i put it down to shock of moving to brackish and he was the weakest.
That day i got another 2 and when i got back there was a chromide with it's head missing.
well since then they have been disapearing 1 by 1 with no exception to last night I'm now down to 1.
I thought I would tip the morays out of there tube and lo-and-behold 1 of the morays had a funny lump in his belly.
I'll have to leave the last chromide in there, but when I'm in work tomorrow I'll get some of the baby mollies, then hopefully when there older they'll take dead.

Really glad to hear at least 1 of them is eating now! I know you were kind of giving up hope on them, so looks like they've got good timing!
theres a lesson learnt, morays are extreem predators and should not be trusted with any fish under 4 inches. Orange Chromides only reach around 3 inches so are perfect snack size, if you want a brackish Cichlid go for Green Chromides which grow to around 10 inches.
