Synbranchus marmoratus is a fascinating species known for its ability to breathe through its skin and lining of the mouth, enabling it to survive in low-oxygen environments. Despite its elongated appearance, it's not a true eel. It is mostly nocturnal, spending daylight hidden and coming out at night to hunt. Suitable for experienced aquarists due to its size and specific requirements.
