That'd be my guess too. Is he that fat, or is it a goofy angle??

Not a tire track eel, not too fat, and only about 8 inches long but can grow to 18 nches.

After I looked at the full-size image I realized that. In the little pic he looks rather rotund.

Ok, I think I've got him now, but I'll wait and see if anyone else gets it before I try again.

I'll give you credit but the proper name is Aethiomastacembelus elipsifer. It's your turn to pick a new fish.crw.npt wrote:All right I'll give it one more shot then. Mastacembelus ellipsis

Either way its a nice looking spiney eel. I didn't realize how many varieties there were of them.
I will try and find something interesting, but in the mean time, someone else throw something out there if they've got something neat.
