friendly reminder that, if you take proper care of your eels and keep them in a big tank with lots of hiding places, they will never feel the need to hide in the sand
instead, they’ll either sit at the front of the tank and wait for you to walk in the room, or they’ll all noodle out of the woodwork they were napping in when they find out you’re there
eels will only bury in the sand if they’re scared or threatened and have nowhere else to hide. thanks for coming to my ted talk
It’s true for the salty variety too! More hiding places means you actually get to see their cute little faces more!
