peacock eel I say?
not really an expert

but nice though
 
Looks like a trade named "Dwarf Tiger Eel". Can't remember the scientific name, but I think they max out at 7". A lot of people confuse them with small Tire Track eels, which get closer to 24"-30".
 
I have just been looking at tons of eel pictures...who new there were so many :)

the closest thing I can come to looks is a zig zag eel Mastacembelus pancalus , guess I answered my question.

I agree.:)
 
its a zig zag a fat happy one to how big
 
looks a little red to be a tire track eel also they will have stripes or spoltches that move sideways not just up and down
