Macrognathus aral, the one-stripe spiny eel, is a small fish from Pakistan , India , Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar. It usually is found in running and stagnant waters of freshwater and brackish waters. It is 63.5 cm (25.0 in) in length.[2]
After mating, eggs are deposited by attaching on to algal masses.[2]
In 2008, researches showed that what was once considered to be Macrognathus aral in Sri Lanka, is actually a separate species, Macrognathus pentophthalmos.[1][3][4]
