Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Borneo Python Eel – (Macrognathus kris)

The Borneo Python Eel is a slender, elongated freshwater fish native to Borneo and surrounding Southeast Asian regions. Known for its snake-like appearance and distinctive patterning, this eel-like species is a fascinating addition to aquariums with soft substrates and plenty of hiding spots. It is nocturnal and somewhat secretive, requiring a peaceful tank environment.
