Taxa principali

Freshwater moray, Murena d'acqua dolce

Niente porta più fuoristrada del loro nome comune, murene d'acqua dolce: possono tollerare di essere allevate in acqua dolce solo se giovani e per brevi periodi, ma esigono condizioni d'acqua almeno salmastra per vivere in salute, per arrivare da adulte ad acqua marina

Dimensioni max: 60.0 cm TL
Aspettativa di vita: 35-40 anni

Per saperne di più...

L'etichetta 'murene d'acqua dolce' viene appioppata a molte specie, ma è una tra le più erronee e che ingenera più confusione: i pesci anguilliformi d'acqua dolce non sono murene, e non esistono 'vere' murene che vivano a lungo e in salute in acqua dolce...
