Description
The Guinean Pike-conger is a large, predatory marine eel found in the Eastern Atlantic, characterized by its long, slender body and pointed snout. It is an active hunter of fish and crustaceans. Due to its significant adult size and highly aggressive, predatory nature, it requires a very large, species-specific marine aquarium.
