Description
The Indian Pike-conger is a large, predatory marine eel native to the Indo-West Pacific. Characterized by its elongated, snake-like body and pointed snout, it is a formidable nocturnal hunter. This species is primarily a food fish and not typically kept in home aquariums due to its size and aggressive nature.
