Mastacembelus Armatus

Zig Zag Eel

They are found in moving waters, such as rivers and streams with sandy to pebbly bottoms, normally with dense with vegetation. They also inhabit still waters in coastal marshes and may migrate during the dry season into canals, lakes and floodplain areas. They are nocturnal and will sometimes partially bury themselves in the substrate during the day, coming out at night to feed on at night on benthic insect larvae, worms and some submerged plant material.
