The pond also is home to various species of crab (pāpaʻi), shrimp (ʻōpae), and eel (puhi). [1] When they are small enough, fish enter the fishpond via the sluice gates to feed on phytoplankton and limu. [5] They then remain within it because of the abundance of food and become too large to get back into Kāneʻohe Bay via the sluice gates. [5]
Mastacembelus is a genus of many species of spiny eel fish from the family Mastacembelidae.They are native to Africa (c. 45 species) and Asia (c. 15 species). [4] Most are found in rivers and associated systems (even in rapids [5]), but there are also species in other freshwater habitats and a particularly rich radiation is found in the Lake Tanganyika basin with 15 species (14 endemic).
In some parts of Asia, swamp eels and one species of spiny eel, Mastacembelus erythrotaenia, are valued as food and sometimes are kept in ponds or rice fields. Except for a few mastacembelids, they are rarely seen in home aquaria. The fish have numerous sharp dorsal spines and belly thorns which, together with its sliminess make them extremely ...

The African sharptooth catfish is a large, eel-like fish, usually of dark gray or black coloration on the back, fading to a white belly. In Africa , this catfish has been reported as being second in size only to the vundu of the Zambesian waters, [ 4 ] although FishBase suggests the African sharptooth catfish surpasses that species in both ...
The fire eel (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia) is a relatively large species of spiny eel. This omnivorous freshwater fish is native to Southeast Asia but is also found in the aquarium trade. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Although it has declined locally (especially in parts of Cambodia and Thailand) due to overfishing , it remains common overall.
It has been argued that only nine species of freshwater fish are truly native to Ireland — five char species, pollan, eel, brown trout and Atlantic salmon — as Ireland's fresh water was entirely frozen during the last glacial period, only diadromous fish could repopulate Irish waters after the Ice Age. All other freshwater species were ...
