Gorgasia preclara(splendid garden eel)-- http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Gorgasia-preclara.html

Heteroconger hassi (spotted garden eel)-- http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Heteroconger-hassi.html

They have specific requirements, tank should be built around their needs. Not the best eels to start with or attempt without a fair amount of research.

The splendids are surprisingly aggressive, they'll bite any fish that swims over there hole and then quickly retreat back down.

That was one of my favourite things to see in the Kona diving I did. Just 100's of garden eels, though jebus help me if I could have got a shot of one of them, they are huge in the wild, and dont let you get close before they hide.

This is the only shot of any guy I got, and he isnt a garden eel.

Other than needing a deep sand bed what do they require?

Hey everyone I'm back. Unfortunately my SFE made it through my egg crate a little after so I decided to give it my go with a larger eel that couldn't make it through. Here is my zebra moray. I've wanted one for such a long time and finally got one.

Am I seeing double, or is that two greens in the above pics? I keep a mature G.funebris (see page 8 of this thread) and I will be interested in the outcome when those two grow to maturity. Please keep us all updated.

If those two greens are 20+ years old, then I am an alien!! Unless there size and complexion has been stunted for some reason. Even when living alone, they look like they have been in a war.

Out of snowflake, Chain or Zebra which one would be less agressive towards fish and as an adult do not go mean? Some say SFE go postal as adults but a buddy has one that is calm as can be.

Thanks

AlexS95: Your vid shows just how exciting they can be in a tank

If you can spend a bit of money, try a Golden Dwarf Moray. They max out at 12" and look pretty cool IMO.
He's not always out that much. It was a combination of it was around 11:30 pm and it was just after feeding; he's always out more for both so I tried this and it worked.

These are only cell phone pictures, but anyway..they're both pretty small juveniles. They're the only eels I have left, pretty common species, but I enjoy them, even though I'm not trying to "collect" eels due to a hobby reduction.

It's funny how much our definition of 'common' are different. I have only seen one Fimby for sale and I don't even know what the second one is.
