I know this may sound as a dumbass question but are bichirs related to EELS????
 
You should do some bichir taxonomy research for the database you hope to build on the primitive fishkeepers site ;) They are not closely related to any eels, although some uninformed shops label them as eels occasionally (though petsmart did switch to "dinosaur bichir" as opposed to "dinosaur eel" now for their senegals)

You didn't make a mistake. The post was edited....look at the quote in your post. See below, it was edited afterwards to say "NOT related" so you don't owe an apology. LOL I know it's not a big deal either way but just something I noticed. I must be really bored. Later. :)
