Aba aba Profile

The Aba aba, scientifically known as Gymnarchus niloticus, is a large, uncommonly kept freshwater fish known for its distinctive dark, almost black coloration. Originating from the Nile River and other African waterways, it has an elongated body and is characterized by the absence of dorsal and caudal fins, giving it a unique, eel-like appearance. Despite its intriguing look, it's not well-known in the aquarium hobby, largely due to its massive size and the specialized care it requires.
