Might this be a tease of sorts??

likes words, fish and arbitrary statistics
I totally do. I love following tons of build threads. I especially love seeing people adding unusual critters or things I could not have in my own.

I'd love to have a colony of GDMs trained on mysis... but talk about expensive livestock. Sheesh, $300 a pop for each addition to the tank. Feeding each one individually too if they won't take mysis or broadcast feedings. Ugh that would be so much work, but SOOOO COOOL

But spending other peoples money is so much fun!!Maybe if this guy gets going on the LRS you could do it someday. Even a pair would be too cool for school!
I'd like a pair, even if they aren't what would be traditionally considered a "pair." I'm not sure the reproductive habits of dwarf moray eels have been studied in detail...
Two morays in the tank really would limit my other stock options in a nano. Pom pom crabs may be out of the equation, along with sexy shrimp. Emeralds, I'm sure would be fine as well as a larger cleaner shrimp, but shrimp are evil and kill LPS for their food.
I went for the squid earlier and realized I had to toss all my cut and prepared tentacles as they had gotten freezer burn. All I had was a little flat sheet bag thing of "squid pieces" which are more tubes than tentacles and in rather large pieces. I did find a tentacle or two I could try in the chunk I thawed. I'll run to the hippie food store over in Columbia and pick up some more calimari. I might try some krill or maybe the LRS Chunky tomorrow tho before I leave. I would be ecstatic if he went for the LRS.

Ehh they don't really swim, so that's not going to be a factor on tank size. They will come out occasionally and make a lap or two, then go back into their cave.
I would say around a 20-30 gallon AIO with added filtration would be the bare minimum for them. A 30 gallon with sump (like my Deep Blue) is prefered. As long as they can stretch out completely and have a few different hidey holes they are comfortable.
Its filtration for a predator that is the problem. Instead of small frequent meals, like feeding normal fish once or twice a day, they eat large infrequent meals that puts a big load on the bio filter, then none at all for a few days up to a week or even more in a hunger strike. Really small tanks can't handle the bio load.
It's like tossing a dead nano fish in your tank every two to three days. A large tank will never notice, but a small tank will have a build up of nutrients and maybe ammonia because the bio filter will get overwhelmed. I'm pushing it with my tank choice, but I have a trick up my sleeve I hope is going to work out...
