The Spotted Garden Eel (チンアナゴ, Chin'anago) is a type of deep sea creature first introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf; this game marks the first appearance of Spotted Garden Eels.

The Spotted Garden Eel is later going to be added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons as part of the first wave of the Free Summer Update.

Donating to the Museum

In New Leaf

Upon donating a Spotted Garden Eel to the Museum, it can be found in the large pool in the first room of the Ocean exhibit, along with many other species of deep sea creature. It is found in the corner near the big rock close to the enterance of the large saltwater exhibit. The exhibit has this to say about the Eel:

"Spotted garden eels get their name from the black spots on their otherwise white bodies. They nest in the sandy seafloor and poke their heads out to catch the plankton drifting in the current. They're rather shy, as they quickly dart back into their hole at the slightest hint of danger."
