Synbranchus marmoratus

As a beauty in the conventional sense Synbranchus marmoratus can not be chracterised, but even the extraordinary has its attraction. At the moment we can offer beside swamp eels in „normal“ sizes a giant of approximately 1 m length. Of course a predator of this size should not be kept together with small „food fishes “. In addition they try to undertake nocturnal migrations, in order to avoid unpleasant nocturnal meetings, the aquarium should be hermetically closed. For those looking for an alternative to the usual community tank it might be an interesting ornamental fish.(Photo F. Schäfer, Text K. Diehl)
