Common name: Eels

Anguilliformes, commonly known as eels, are an order of elongated fish with a snake-like appearance, found in both freshwater and marine environments. They lack pelvic fins and many species also lack pectoral fins, contributing to their serpentine shape. Eels are fascinating for their mysterious life cycles, particularly the catadromous species like the European eel, which spawns in the Sargasso Sea. In reef aquariums, hobbyists often keep smaller, more manageable species such as the Snowflake Eel or Zebra Moray, which are known for their interesting behaviors and compatibility with larger fish communities.
