The first time I ever saw a "freshwater" moray eel, I could swear it was an Echidna nebulosa because I clearly remember thinking "How the hell are they keeping E. nebulosa in freshwater?", but now I can't find anything about them being kept in freshwater and the ones I see are clearly different species. Could I be confusing memories?

no true freshwater morays except Gymnothorax polyuranodon (most likely)
every other "freshwater" species needs brackish or full on marine

What he said, also Gymnothorax tile. I guess the snowflake sort of resembles the fw ones, but that's a lot of squinting to see the resemblance

Well I know that part. But I could swear I saw at two different stores E. nebulosa kept in freshwater and that that was the species I first saw kept in this way. That's why I posted this, because I'm trying to figure out why I remember this when I can't find any evidence for it. I mean it's a very specific memory about thinking this is insane that you can keep E. nebulosa in freshwater.

Theyre pretty cool desu. Can survive in less than ideal water conditions and breathe air ala labyrinth fish. They do this weird resting vertical thing too. They were actually easier to feed than the brackish eels upon introduction - took to live earthworms pretty quickly.
