Mastacembelus erythrotaenia
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A large and visually stunning spiny eel from Southeast Asia, displaying a dark brown body with distinctive red-outlined yellow spots and stripes that become more vivid with age, reaching up to 36 inches. It is a burrowing fish requiring a deep, soft substrate and a very large tank (100+ gallons for adults), and will eat any fish small enough to fit in its mouth.
