HELP - ID MY FISH!!!!

[scottswald]

hi, i got this fish about a week ago and it was sold as a white eel.

i've tried looking them up but cant find anything!!!

the guy at another lfs said it sounded lyk a weather loach but when i looked them up, they have fins and are shaped differant.

i apologise for the tacky and tastless background but im looking for another, dark and natural looking.

here are some pics, the little dude is 14 inches long.

That was before pics were up! Looks like a Paddletail Eel. I believe they are brackish.
Check that. You guys were right, head shape is a dead giveaway. Swamp Eel.
