Eelarium

Eelarium refers to a type of enclosed environment primarily used to house eels. This aquarium setup is typically designed to mimic the eel's natural habitat, providing a suitable surroundings for the aquatic animals.

The main components of an eelarium include a secure, escape-proof enclosure, a large water volume to accommodate the eel's active swimming and territorial behavior, and equipment for maintaining proper water temperature and quality. The environment is also often designed to resemble the eel's natural habitat, such as rivers or streams, with the addition of features like aquatic plants and artificial rock formations.

Eelariums are often used in both private and professional settings, such as aquariums, aquaculture facilities, and private homes. They can be found in various sizes to accommodate the size of the eel species being housed, ranging from small, domestic eelaria designed for single individuals, to large-scale commercial eelaria used to raise eels for commercial purposes.

Unlike traditional aquariums, eelariums typically require stricter water and biological monitoring, due to eels' specific and sensitive environmental needs. Housing eels in an eelarium can provide these fish with the level of complexity and space they require in order to thrive.

Care and maintenance of an eelarium involves ensuring proper water quality, nutrition, and food sources for the eels. Due to their sensitive nature, eelarium owners should research and understand the unique requirements of eels before making a purchase and setting up their eelarium.
