    Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. You might get by with one; however, each can grow to 2' in length and have a recommended minimum tank size of 50g. Morays, by nature, are also quite aggressive, so you might just be setting yourself up for a bloodbath.

    With hiding places the wolf and jeweled should be fine but I don't think the snowflake would survive with those two
