Striped Peacock Eel (Macrognathus Siamensis)
Striped Peacock Eel (Macrognathus Siamensis)
The Striped Peacock Eel is a hardy and gentle freshwater species well-suited for medium to large community aquariums. Distinctive for the eye-catching peacock tail feather pattern along its dorsal fin, this eel adds unique visual interest and bottom-dwelling activity to your setup.
Reaching an adult size of approximately 25.4 cm, this species features a small mouth and thrives on a varied diet of live and frozen foods. While peaceful toward larger tankmates, it may hunt very small tank inhabitants such as tiny crustaceans or fish under 1.3 cm.
