Coastal streams of south-eastern Australia.

Catadromous species: spends most of its life in freshwater and then migrates to sea to spawn.

Additional Comments

Interesting 'oddball' for an unheated tank. Provide some hiding places and ensure the tank has an extremely tight fitting lid - Eels are master escape artists! Hardy and can become quite tame.
