I came back home from that Georgia Aquarium visit and found myself searching for information on garden eels to see if these were suitable home aquarium inhabitants but I found very little captive care information that was home aquarium specific. I did not revisit this until years later when I had an opportunity to upgrade my reef aquarium into a 150 gallon cube-shaped glass tank. I was looking to setup a reef display that would renew my love of the marine aquarium hobby while taking advantage of the new tank's unique dimensions (36" wide x 36" long x 27" high). I decided to explore setting up a garden eel aquarium and this time my Internet searches yielded a couple of hobby specific articles exploring the feasibility of a garden eel dominated aquarium. While these two articles covered the basic information needed to get me started, I've learned some great lessons from having successfully housed six Spotted Garden Eels (Heteroconger hassi) in my home's reef aquarium and it is my hope to give you the detailed information needed to setup and maintain a thriving garden eel dominated home aquarium.
