Ok I'll try and get some better pics.
 
I don't know.. Personally it doesn't look like a fire eel to me and I'd be curious to know what you see that identifies him as a fire eel. The coloration is to light, even if stressed, I don't see any patterns or anything like that which would suggest a fire eel. So what makes everyone think fire eel?
 
Ok I'll try and get some new pics soon!
 
its a fire eel, some have yellow stripes when young that develpoe into red later.
