Many times we have been asked about keeping eels in a reef aquarium. As we have never actually done this, our answer is simply based on the standards of keeping a healthy reef tank. As eels do tend to be dirty, demand lots of food, I feel with the proper filtration and care they will do fine in a reef aquarium. Although, one thing you have to watch out far is what fish and invertebrates you choose to be in your reef. I have seen eels eat smaller fish and shrimp in an aquarium. Keeping away from small fish along with proper filtration and maintenance to maintain optimal water parameters for your corals and reef fish sounds like the combo to keeping eels in our reef aquariums. If any viewers have actual experience or is currently a owner of a reef housing an eel, feel from to comment below on your experience.
