Genus
Common name: Hinge-beak Shrimp
Scientific name: Pisodonophis
Pisodonophis is a genus of benthic eels commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters. These eels are known for their elongated bodies and ability to burrow into the substrate, providing an interesting dynamic to the aquarium floor. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with other non-aggressive tank mates. Pisodonophis species are nocturnal and may help control populations of small invertebrates in the tank. They require a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat.
