This Im sure is an easy one...My friend went to the aquarium and took pictures of some kind of fish or work that comes out of the substrate and will back into it again...looks like a work but it has eyes and all...theres many of them

what are they? I think they were in a reef tank...I never been there so I dont know...

if its the georgia aquarium they probably were garden eels

 

[linda lee]

work? or worm?

Victor's right... probably garden eels. They look like so many blades of grass emerging from the sand. Way cool.

work=worm :/

Thats them...I so need a larger tank lol just too too cool

They're very hardy but very hard to feed. I've tried them several times. The most success I had was about 8 months.

I could never have them in my corner tank...I will give myself til 6/08 then its a 180 minimum. It may even be fish only...

 

[victor626nj]

not to mention you need a deep substrate to keep them happy

 

[tnyga]

yep...about 6 inches

where can you get them?

Agreed... garden eels are very cool. Would like to have one as well but I like easy maintenance fish as I am lazy.
