My Moray Is Deadly..

[Lhutch]

i gave him a feeder, ate it out of my hand, i gave him a another feeder(i had killed it so he could eat it better), i had a slight curiousness of what i could do if i dropped a live feeder in, He went absolutly nuts, he flew out of his cave and mangled the feeder until the feeder was like paralyzed, the paralyzed feeder wandered into his cave, the eel came out with fin out of its mouth and then swallowed the rest, i am wowed right now, is it possible to overfeed these things, i tend to only give it 1 a night, 6 days a week, i poured in some salt cause i had him at 1.004 and nows hes at 1.007 and i think hes really happy

What type of Eel? Also, feeders aren't the best of foods, what type of fish is it? This was salt water, or salt you poured into the tank?

Also, you really shouldn't feed morays by hand...

my guess is that this is probably a "freshwater" moray, which is a brackish fish, not the real moray eel like in the video.

its a (brackish)fresh water moray eel, pics are hard because hes nocturnal and when the lights turn of he goes in his cave

Feeding:
YES it is possible to overfeed. I know for marine morays it is okay to feed every other day. How much depends on size.

Why not?

So long as you aren't trying to feed a green or leopard moray (or any of the other noted big nasty morays) what is the problem? I always used to hand feed my moray when it was in a tank small enough for me to reach it.
