Yellow Canary Eel - Brazil

RARE ITEM!!!!

The **Yellow Canary Eel**, also referred to as the Golden Moray Eel or Banana Eel, is a remarkable species found in the Atlantic Ocean. Known scientifically as Gymnothorax miliaris, this eel is celebrated for its vivid colors and can be a striking addition to a large saltwater aquarium, though it requires experienced care.

Reaching lengths of up to two feet, the **Yellow Canary Eel** has a long, snake-like body. Unlike typical fish, it lacks pelvic and pectoral fins, resulting in a unique swimming motion. The most desired variation of this eel features a bright yellow body, reminiscent of a canary or banana. However, they can also display a variety of colors based on their location, including golden yellow with black spots, dark brown with white speckles, or a mottled yellowish-brown pattern.

Despite their stunning appearance, **Yellow Canary Eels** are carnivorous and should be handled with care. Their poor eyesight can lead to accidental bites, mistaking fingers for food. It's advisable to use tongs for feeding. These eels are generally hardy and adapt well to captivity if provided with a spacious tank and a secure lid to prevent escapes. With proper care, including regular water changes and a diet of meaty foods like shrimp and fish, the **Yellow Canary Eel** can thrive in your aquarium for many years.
