BTW, nice fire eel.![]()
OOPS! Sorry, I totally botch that. I meant to say an L029 not L107 (my ADD at work
). Anyways, planetcatfish reports that:
"This Venezuelan species (L240) is very similar to Leproacanthicus galaxias and may well turn out to represent the Northern limit of that species range. The unpaired fins of adult fish have very few or no spots at their tips giving the appearance of a black edge."

Hope that helps a little more than throwing out that random number!
