So I have a variety of eels, Fire, Tire Track, Starry, Orange Spot, Half Banded, Peacock, etc.... I got this dude in an online order with an Orange spot. It was supposed to be two of them. The seller wasn't sure when I sent them the comparison pics and I have been having a heck of a time finding exactly what it is. He is growing more rapidly then any of my other guys. He is also not as settled as most of them are. He will eat almost anything I put in the tank and has grown accustomed to being tong fed. When he got here he was about 4.5" and in less then 6 weeks he is over 7". Very alert and watchful. Happily shares 3dprinted tunnels with the other grow outs in the 60g breeder he is currently in. Current tank mates are a couple very small (less then 4" Platinum RTC, Tire Track, Buettikoferi, Polli, Weeksii, Irwini, Raphael, L397, and Rope Fish. Oh and a couple Yoyo's that are moving this week.I have video of him in the Kritter Keeper (while I was moving him out of my baby tank) as well but No link to post it here.
Observations:
No Diagonal or Vertical Barring
Almost appears "Saddled" on his front half with Light Spots, yet it is actually the dark spots getting smaller as they go down his spine
Does not change color much in very light or black substrate (I have white sand in the baby tank and he is now on Aqua Naturals Black Diamond sand)
Way spookier then any of my others and takes longer to settle back down.
Does not have any additional spots under the top row of dark spots
Longer vs girth then most of my others barring the Starry (that guy is wayyyyy longer then he is round in comparison to everyone else)
Thoughts???
