Asian Swamp Eel

Some special pet from 二叔公养鱼记 in Guangxi (China) 🇨🇳 He keeps several local swamp eels in his garden in large, muddy, planted tubs. The animals have already grown accustomed to their owner and wait for him every day when he brings them food. They also don’t leave the tubs and are very loyal to their habitat as long as they’re comfortable there. 🐟 Monopterus albus – the Asian Swamp Eel This remarkable fish is native to East and Southeast Asia and is known for its ability to breathe through its skin and the lining of its mouth. It can survive out of water for several days, slithering across land to find new habitats. With no scales and a snake-like body, it thrives in rice paddies, swamps, and canals.  #MonopterusAlbus #AsianSwampEel #AmphibiousFish #Aquarium #Fishkeeping
