Its elegant patterning, combined with its snake-like movement, makes it a unique and captivating addition to tropical aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"823\"\u003eNaturally shy but curious, Peacock Eels spend much of their time exploring the substrate and hiding among driftwood, plants, and caves. They thrive in aquariums with soft sand, as they love to burrow and partially bury themselves. Peaceful by nature, they can be kept with similarly sized community fish but may eat very small tankmates. With proper care, they become interactive and often learn to recognise feeding time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"jnt6uo\" data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"842\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"1206\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"864\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate aquarists and oddball community aquariums\u003cbr data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"922\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"944\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003cbr data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"958\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"980\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003cbr data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"991\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1015\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best kept singly or in small groups in larger aquariums\u003cbr data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1102\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; avoid very small fish that may be viewed as food\u003cbr data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1182\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25–30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
