The neighbor conger[3] (Bathycongrus vicinalis) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[4] It was described by Samuel Garman in 1899, originally under the genus Uroconger.[5] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel that is known from the southwestern and western central Atlantic Ocean, including the Bahamas, Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico.[1] It dwells at a depth range of 101–503 metres (331–1,650 ft). Males can reach a maximum total length of 46.2 centimetres (18.2 in).[4]

Due to its widespread distribution, and an estimated lack of threats resulting from its deep water nature, the IUCN redlist currently lists the neighbor conger as Least Concern.[1]
