Zebra moray eel in 55gal? thats what my book says, what do you think?

my marine pocket book guide says I can easily house a zebra moray eel in a 55gal, though I have a 4foot 75gal?what do you think, your opinion would be great thanks

I'll answer if nobody else will. I had a zebra moray years ago. They are not one of the really big morays and aren't very big around. They also don't move around much. In my experience, the zebras seem to be among the more shy varieties. My main concern would be the bioload any predator is going to add. I personally think they could be kept in a 75, but you would want to make sure you are up on your waste management.

I second this, also make sure your rock work is fixed in place.... Epoxy or pvc skeleton.... Eels can cause rock slides that result in glass cracking

I think it'd work in a 75 but I'd be cautious about adding any other fish
