Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐍 Albino Asian Swamp Eel – (Monopterus javanensis)

The Albino Asian Swamp Eel is a rare, pale-colored variant of the standard Monopterus javanensis, distinguished by its creamy-white to yellowish body, pinkish eyes, and smooth, scaleless skin. Its elongated, snake-like form and ability to breathe atmospheric air make it a fascinating — and sometimes challenging — species for specialized aquarists.

Native to Southeast Asia’s swamps, rice paddies, and slow-moving waterways, this nocturnal predator is both hardy and adaptable, capable of surviving in low-oxygen environments where many fish cannot. Its unique biology, secretive nature, and unusual appearance make it a true oddity in the aquarium world.
