Golden Moray Eel

Hey all,
I was looking into this rare species, the Golden dwarf moray eel. Does anyone have any experience with them? I wanted one, but was wondering if just because of their size, if you can keep them in a "nano tank" maybe a 29 gallon biocube? I think this is a big no no, but any beg to differ? And are they suitable in a reef?
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't keep any eel in a 29g biocube, especially since these tanks are tall and not wide. The eel would have hardly any space to move around, not to mention the bioload.

+1, yes it is a smaller species of eel BUT it still needs its roaming room and biocubes don't come with the best of filtration. I think a 40g breeder would make a nice species tank but the bigger you can get the better and easier it will be for you.
