Eels are hiders generally-

I highly recommend the use of fine-grade sand for mastacembelid eels. It seems to prevent or ameliorate any damage to their sensitive, mucous-laden skin. While they may spend much of their time with just a head sticking out of the sand, this ability to hide whenever and wherever they want cuts down on conspecific aggression and the stress of captivity.
Drop in a clean trout worm if you want action anyway! heehee

He is in fine sand substrate tank and he always burys himself it has scared me a couple of times when he has sand on him as i thought it was whitespot to begin with.
