Scientific name: Heteroconger Hassi

Back in October this year was the first time I ever laid eyes on this creatures. Impressive and beautiful little ones! I was so impressed that if ever they’re available here, I would love to have an aquarium full of them :)

 

Spotted Garden Eel - Their appearance is like a slim straw. They can grow up to 16 inches long although you may never see more than a quarter of their body as they remain partially hidden in the sand. They get their name from all the tiny odd-shaped spots covering the body including three large solid black spots. They have large yellow eyes. Several may be kept in the same aquarium. This eel is fairly passive and it is unlikely it would attack any inhabitants. They require several inches of sand in the aquarium for hiding and burring themselves.
