Description
The Freshwater Moray (*Gymnothorax polyuranodon*) is a striking euryhaline eel known for its leopard-like pattern of dark brown on a golden-yellow body. While juveniles are often found in freshwater, adults typically require brackish to marine conditions for optimal health. This predatory eel can grow quite large and needs a spacious aquarium with secure hiding places.
