EELS : Protogynous Hermaphrodites ??



Hello everyone !

I was wondering if anyone out there has experience in breeding Moray Eels, particularly Snowflakes. I have adopted two specimens that are 20" + each and I was thinking of isolating them if they could be a breeding pair.

Everywhere I have read has said that no one knows how to sex these animals, even that they are suspected of being ' protogynous hermaphrodites '. If that is the case, then one or the other should change to adapt to the situation.

If anyone knows about this, please let me know !
