What layer of the rainforest does electric eel live in?

The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) typically inhabits the bottom layer of the rainforest, which is the forest floor. They are found in shallow, slow-moving waters, such as streams, rivers, and ponds. Electric eels prefer areas with muddy or sandy bottoms, where they can bury themselves in the substrate to hide or hunt for prey. These bottom-dwelling fish utilize their powerful electric discharges to navigate, locate prey, and defend themselves in their forest floor habitat.
