Mastacembelus erythrotaenia
Daily fish fact #833
Fire eel!
It inhabits slow-moving waters with thick vegetation, like lowland rivers and floodplains — it tends to hide out in the sand with its head peeking out. Despite the name, it is not really an eel, but a spiny eel (different from eel)!
They’ve got a kind of “king and his evil vizer“ vibe that I’m really digging.
