Description
The Sharp Nose Garden Eel (Heteroconger hassi) is a fascinating marine inhabitant known for its slender, elongated body and unique behavior of burrowing into the substrate. Typically found in sandy or muddy environments in the Indo-Pacific region, this eel spends much of its time partially hidden, with only its head exposed to watch for prey.
As a peaceful species, the Sharp Nose Garden Eel is well-suited for community tanks with other non-aggressive fish. It primarily feeds on small crustaceans and zooplankton, making it essential to provide a high-quality diet that mimics its natural feeding habits. Due to its size and specific habitat requirements, it is best housed in a larger aquarium with ample hiding spots and sandy substrates to accommodate its burrowing behavior.
