Peacock Eel
Macrognathus siamensis
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A slender, small spiny eel from Southeast Asia reaching about 12 inches, with an olive-brown body and a row of eye-like spots (ocelli) along the upper flank that give the species its common name. It is a peaceful burrower that needs a soft substrate like fine sand, meaty foods such as bloodworms and tubifex, and secure tank lids as it is an escape artist.
