I have decided to start a new thread I managed to get a photo of one the eels I bought the other one is in one of the clay pipe's towards the back of the tank so could not get a shot of that one.The lfs had them labelled up as green spiny eels here are 2 photos of one of them to see what you guys think they are.

ok so lfs have labelled it right as when I googled green spiny eel it came up with half banded spiny eel although what I saw on google did look slightly different markings around the head
 
Maybe a clear pic out of the grass would help. Could be stressed as well.
 
that the clearest I can get the rest of the time he is in the clay pipe with the other one once the lights go out I see them swimming around though

Looks like it could be macrognathus pancalus aka yellow tail spiny eel.
