- Gymnothorax tile is a unique species that transitions easily between freshwater and brackish water environments but does best in the latter. - This eel is typically nocturnal and a hidden hunter, relying on its keen sense of smell. - Tank mates should be chosen carefully due to its predatory nature. Smaller fish may be considered prey. - A tight-fitting lid on the aquarium is advised as the eel might attempt to escape. - Eels develop a special bond with the ocean and exhibit fascinating behaviors, thus providing endless fascination for aquarists.
