Common name: Conger eels

The Congridae family, commonly known as conger eels or garden eels, comprises a diverse group of elongated, serpentine fish found in marine environments. These eels are notable for their secretive lifestyles, often burrowing into sandy substrates where they form colonies. Congridae species vary in size and behavior, with some being solitary and others more social. They are carnivorous, feeding on small fish and invertebrates. In the aquarium, they require specialized care, including deep sand beds for burrowing and ample space to accommodate their size and behavior.
