| Care: | The Hass's Garden Eel diet consists of meaty foods and live foods such as grass shrimp or small feeder fish. The main portion of the Hass's Garden Eel is usually buried in the sand, and if approached, retreats into the substrate. Several of these eels may be kept together in a 110 gallon or larger aquarium with at least 6 inches of sand, a gentle current, and without aggressive tank mates. Decor should be kept at a minimum. A tight-fitting lid on the tank is required to prevent escape. |
