New Conger Eel Arrives

Last Friday our volunteer Andy brought a young Conger Eel (Conger verreauxi), or ngoio in te reo Maori, to the Bait House Aquarium for our large Reef Habitat display. It settled in quickly and is now wandering around its new home, usually at night.  Conger eels are found throughout New Zealand and can grow up to 2 metres in length with a weight of 16 kg.
