Yup, definitely G.Tile...

if it were a Gymnothorax Polyuranadon you definitely can't miss it... just look at the Pics 888fish posted up, and you can see an immediate difference...

G.Tiles tend to be more of a grayish color with yellowish / gold speckles through their bodies, while G.Poly tend to have a more yellow base color with larger black leopard print type markings...

I have added aquarium salt about 10 tablespoons, he perked up a lot, just havent seen him eat yet.

I'm beginning to think that you're trolling us. Your refusal to listen to anything I, or others, have told you leads me to believe you joined just to mess with us.

Best of luck in the future and if this is a true situation, TAKE THE EEL BACK!!!

Of all morays which could be found in estuarium and rivers, only Gymnothorax Polyuranodon and Echidna Rhodochilus (the white-cheeked moray) can actually be kept in freshwater for awhlle, but eventually will need at least low-end brackish water.

This is my echidna rhodochilus. The previous owner fished it out himself in a river in North Bekasi (Indonesia), the river is 30 kilometers inland. He kept it in a tank, filled with the water from the river where it was caught. A year later he sold it to me. I kept the eel in a low-end brackish aquarium, and it seems to be doing fine.
