Help eel id please

[quasar]

So i bought an eel that was labeled as a "striped eel". When i saw it i knew it wasnt that, and that it was either a barred eel or a half bar. But im no expert so maybe u guys can help?

too elongated to be a ZZ imo. stripes are also wrong, But hard to say. Not a species I've seen before if it's not a ZZ.

Anybody have tips for feeding these things? Mines about 4.5"long and has a face the size of a spaghetti. So feeders don't fit,and I haven't seen it eat bloodworms yet

Live blackworms.. I start all my spineys on them.. once they are settled in i start adding other foods.. but for the first few weeks i use the blackworms.

Mine is about the same size and I feed it on bloodworms at the moment, readily comes up to take them one by one from some tweezers, then I drop a load on the floor. He eats abouts 8 or 9 before retreating back into the moss to digest, twice a day. Not really sure how much they should be eating at this size though.

I do the exact same works like a charm. This gives me an idea to treat my stressed fire
