love it when you hit us with the facts!
Based on your current tank size I would agree with the delhezi. Great fish with a nice pattern at a manageble size (<12")
It was the Bichir that started my passion back in 2001!

First 2 pics of them when small. Notice the base colors. They were about 3.5". Not mine but from a Wetspot 'photo snipe'.
The 3rd is a gray version when it got larger. This batch of 5-6 pieces all turned the same. Most CB Koliba turn gray and have a pronounced horizontal line w/dots

fire eel would be pretty cool, get it full size though. mine lived 6months before mine died, he didnt grow very fast
My petsmart bought sengalus is what made me love fish. I had a 55 gallon, with breeding bristlenose plecos and platys, that was forced on me by a friend who was being evicted. After a couple days one of my foster pitbulls started to climb onto his crate to watch the fish, then one of my pitbulls started sitting in front of the tank and watch them so I started to watch them and found it relaxing. SoI told my friend if I was going to "hold" the tank she would have to get me some fish I actually like so we went to petsmart and bought some mollies, a peacock eel, a Black ghost knife, and a tiny 1" sengalus. Well the Black ghost knife died a day later (I still had no clue about biological filtration). The peacock eel hid, and the bichir ate. Well by the time the bristlenose spawned 2 weeks later the bichir was 3" and 40 platys were gone lol. Since I was planning on selling the babies I bought the bichir his own tank which he was killed in the day I moved him to it because of a stupid purchase I made for the tank in a 13" giant river prawn stupid stupid stupid. Well the prawn was given away immediately I was pissed. But I had also bought an albino sengalus that day and kept him till I got out of the hobby. Oh and within 3 months of having the tank forced on me I had 9 tanks lol
I've had 2 peacock eels and a tire track eel the peacocks got about 7" and the tire track got about 12" before I was forced to get out of the hobby but I was working with getting him to be hand fed but a fire eel is my favorite eel. I even removed the gravel from my tank and put black diamond in it for the future eel.
I love the black diamond it's cheap and looks good plus the eels love it and so did the dragon gobies I used to have. Notice the shape of fish I tend to like lol
