Garden Eel - Taenioconger hassi

The **Garden Eel** is a fascinating marine creature with a slender body that ranges in color from tan to green, adorned with distinctive black markings and a prominent black spot. These eels can grow up to 14 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, **Garden Eels** coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, although caution is advised as they may occasionally target smaller tank inhabitants. They thrive in reef aquariums but need a secure environment with a deep sand bed to burrow into, as well as a tightly fitting lid to prevent escape. Due to their specific care requirements, **Garden Eels** are best suited for experienced aquarists.

As carnivores, **Garden Eels** prefer a diet rich in meaty foods, such as live feeder shrimp or fish. Some individuals can be trained to accept prepared foods like small pieces of fresh seafood.
