Collection: Eels

Eels are elongated, snake-like fish belonging to the order Anguilliformes, found in both marine and freshwater environments around the world. They are known for their smooth, scale-less skin, flexible bodies, and secretive, bottom-dwelling behavior. Marine species such as moray eels are common in coral reefs and rocky crevices, where they ambush prey using strong jaws and sharp teeth.

In aquariums, eels require secure hiding places and escape-proof lids due to their strength and ability to squeeze through small gaps. Their unique appearance, mysterious nature, and fascinating life cycles make them intriguing additions to both natural ecosystems and specialized aquaria.
