Freshwater Tiger Moray Eel (Gymnothorax polyuranodon)

The Freshwater Tiger Moray Eel is a rare and fascinating predator prized by advanced aquarists for its bold tiger-like pattern and powerful, snake-like movement. Featuring a rich brown to golden body with dark vertical banding, this eel adds a dramatic and exotic presence to large specialty aquariums.

Unlike most moray eels, this species is naturally found in rivers and estuaries and can adapt to freshwater aquariums when properly acclimated. Intelligent, secretive, and highly interactive at feeding time, the Freshwater Tiger Moray Eel is a true centerpiece animal for experienced keepers.
