Can't find the edit button, and thought I'd throw in that Fire Eel's aren't actually eels at all.

thanks and he was the one sold to me as a zig zag eel

Like as already pointed out, it is not an eel at all. It is and elongated fish. A nice one at that. If you got it at the price of a Zig Zag I'm assuming you got a hell of a deal.
