What are some things that should be done in aquascaping for keeping an eel? Is the addition of a pvc burrow buried under the sand bed a good idea? If so, should it be a straight pipe or should there be curves or multiple outlets? Would you do something else entirely?

I'm considering a snowflake eel and trying to be sure he has a comfortable environment.

Mine like caves and rocks on the sand they can burrow under.

Other examples. Mine like to poke their head out of just about anywhere in the rick scape they fit in!

Those are some beautiful eels! So I'm thinking maybe I don't need to make any PVC tunnels. I'll just be sure to have some nice crevices in the rock bases they can use as burrows

Yeah I dont have any PVC in there! They like to go wherever they can poke their head out!
