Glass eel. Tail pattern, shown in picture 5, fits that of A. bicolor pacifica, based on figure 4 of (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nico-Leander/publication/233945182_Species_Composition_and_Seasonal_Occurrence_of_Recruiting_Glass_Eels_Anguilla_spp_in_the_Hsiukuluan_River_Eastern_Taiwan/links/0fcfd512b26cc06685000000/Species-Composition-and-Seasonal-Occurrence-of-Recruiting-Glass-Eels-Anguilla-spp-in-the-Hsiukuluan-River-Eastern-Taiwan.pdf?origin=publication_detail&_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6Il9kaXJlY3QiLCJwYWdlIjoicHVibGljYXRpb25Eb3dubG9hZCIsInByZXZpb3VzUGFnZSI6Il9kaXJlY3QifX0)

The dorsal fin is short and starts at where the black and red arrow is pointing at in photo 6,7, meaning this is a shortfin eel. No dorsal fin occurs in front of this point, as shown in photo 3, 8 and 9.
Can refer to photo 1 and 2 for dorsal fin length in proportion to body.

Same dorsal and anal fin starting point.

This is A. bicolor pacifica, if I am not wrong. A Hong Kong first record.

I watched with amazement as this young Striped Stream snake hoisted itself out of the water and crawled up the underside of the boulder, UPSIDE-DOWN, towards a patch of Hong Kong Cascade frog eggs. It fell several times in the process, either having failed to properly glue itself to the rock, or in the struggle to tear away the eggs. I'd seen an adult eating eggs on the same rock (previous photos), reaching down from the top to get to the prize.
