I kept garden eels for years, I miss them all the time. How long have you had them? They are some of the most fun marine creatures to keep imo.

I love these guys .Reminds me of when i ordered a yellow margin headed eel for our store and they sent us a garden eel instead. Had to sell him for 5 bucks because we didnt have a proper tank for him. It was someone's lucky day

Very cool.

Is this a dedicated system?

How deep is the sand?

sand is 4-6 inches deep. and yeah the tank is a 28 gallon nano cube that is 2/3 sandbed with a small reef on the right

Awesome! Do you have a build thread?

I'm not a huge eel/predator person (beyond sharks or rays, of course) but I could definitely see getting some of those. They don't have quite the same ugly snake factor that most eels do.

I dont, I always try to start one but then i forget to update it

Yeah they are super cool, they need docile tank mates though. Right now they are the only fish in the tank, but in the past I kept them with an orange spotted filefish and a bluestripe pipefish
