Spaghetti eel

The Spaghetti eel lives in the reef-associated, brackish, marine environment.

Spaghetti eels are non-territorial, and in fact rather gregarious, so aquarists should try to keep them in groups of three or more specimens. They like to dig, and are best kept in tanks with a sandy substrate. More
