Banana eels are popular aquarium fish due to their banana-like appearance.
With their bright yellow color with brown spots, banana eels resemble ripe bananas.
As pets, banana eels require a 125-gallon tank and plenty of hiding places.
Banana eels grow up to 2 feet long.
The spots on a banana eel's head are small. They get progressively larger along the length of its body.
