Peacock Eel – The Gentle “Dragon” of the Freshwater Aquarium
Tired of the same old schooling fish? The Peacock Eel is the perfect choice for hobbyists looking for something truly extraordinary. With its slender, serpentine body and the distinct “eye spots” (ocelli) on its dorsal fin that mimic a peacock’s feathers, this fish brings a sense of mystery and prehistoric charm to your setup.
Approximate size: 5″ – 6″
Why Buy Peacock Eels from Fish R Us?
Peaceful “Oddball” Personality: Unlike larger predatory eels, the Peacock Eel is relatively peaceful and makes an excellent companion for medium-sized community fish like Gouramis, Silver Dollars, and larger Tetras.
Fascinating Behavior: These eels are famous for their curiosity. Watch as they “snorkel” through the sand with only their snouts visible, or gracefully weave through your driftwood and plants.
Hand-Selected for Health: At Fish R Us, we ensure our eels are active and successfully transitioned to aquarium life. We only ship specimens that are robust and eating well.
Expert Shipping: Eels require specific handling to stay moist and oxygenated. Our specialized packaging and 100% Live Arrival Guarantee ensure they arrive ready to explore their new home.
