The Guayana pike-conger (Cynoponticus savanna, also known as the Pike-headed eel or the Sapphire eel[2]) is an eel in the family Muraenesocidae (pike congers).[3] It was described by Edward Nathaniel Bancroft in 1831, originally under the genus Conger.[4] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the western Atlantic Ocean, including Central America, the Caribbean and Brazil. It dwells at a maximum depth of {{convert|100|m|ft}}, and inhabits muddy substrates in bays and estuaries. Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|150|cm|in}}, but more commonly reach a TL of {{convert|50|cm|in}}.[3]

The Guayana pike-conger's diet consists of zoobenthos.[5] It is of minor commercial use to fisheries, and is marketed fresh.[3]
