Well, as the title implies, I am looking for an eel like fish (not a loach) that would be suitable for a 20 gallon tank (60x30x40cm). The only other fish in the tank is a thorichthys aureus which will be moved to lager tank relatively soon. One that does not require sand would be ideal but not essential. I realise that I am fairly limited due to size but surely there must be something out there? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Eels for a small tank

They seem like interesting fish so i'll definitely consider them. Would they be my only option or are there any others? Thanks for the help!
I've decided that I am going to go with either M. siamensis or M. circumcinctus as they seem to be the smallest from what I have read. Are these very active fish? If not, what would you recommend as tankmates for this sized tank?
M.siamensis do bury themselves a lot, you usually only see the head. My sister had 1 and I changed her gravel to sand for her because it kept on scratching itself. I have no experience with the other 1

Peacock eels don't get very big and the ones I had never buried in the sand and were always out constantly swimming around. The tank did have a lot of driftwood and plants so it was pretty comfortable
