The Garden Eel, also known as Hass's Garden Eel, looks like an oceangrass colony. The majority of the Garden Eel can be found in sand and, should it be approached, it will retreat into the substrate. The Garden Eel must keep in a large 40 gallon or larger aquarium that has at six inches of sand and a mild flow, and with no aggressive tankmates. Decor should be kept to an absolute minimum. A tightly-fitting lid is necessary to stop the escape. The Garden Eel diet consists of fleshy food items and live animals such as freshwater ghosts or tiny feeder fish. Approximate Size of Purchase Small: Small: 3" to 4" Medium: 4" to 7" Please note that we guarantee that ALL aquarium species we sell will be alive and in good health.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
