Hey everyone, I was in the local LFS getting some super worms for my lizards and noticed that they had received a shipment of spiny eels. It has been years since I kept a peacock eel and the shipment contains some nice fat 4" specimins and some as small as 2". what caught my atention though was two of the smaller ones (not smallest) had no occelaris on their fins and they had the stripe pattern of a fire eel just with much less colour. they looked a lot like smaller versions of this picture of fire eel fry ( http://www.fishchannel.com/images/fish-species/freshwater/fire-eel2-500px.jpg )
Does this mean that they are some baby fire eels mixed in with the peacocks? or do you think it is quite simply variation? the two I saw stayed away from all the others and having owned a fire eel and a peacock before at different points they caught my attention as looking like fire eels.
