Common name: Garden Eels

Gorgasia, commonly known as Garden Eels, are a genus of eels in the family Congridae. These slender, burrowing eels are named for their garden-like appearance when seen protruding from the sand in large groups. They are fascinating to observe but can be challenging to keep in home aquariums due to their specialized habitat needs. Garden Eels require a deep sand bed to burrow and a peaceful tank environment. They feed primarily on zooplankton and need a steady current to deliver food to them.
