Nice Eel mine is around half a year old and doesn't have the stripes that yours has yet. As they mature the spots connect to stripes but he is pretty colorful. Definitely one of my favorite fish! What do you feed yours?
Here is mine!
As you can see he has those spots that are slowly connecting to form the stripes yours has.
