Appearance: True to its name, the Zebra Eel displays bold black-and-white vertical stripes across its elongated body, giving it a distinctive and eye-catching look.

Size: Can grow up to 3 feet (about 1 meter) in captivity, so it requires a spacious tank.
Temperament: Generally peaceful toward other fish but may eat small tankmates or crustaceans if given the chance.
Diet: Carnivorous—feeds on meaty foods like shrimp, squid, and fish fillets.
Aquarium Care:
Needs secure rockwork and hiding spots.
