I know, I have seen this multiple times and posted there telling them that they have it mislabled, but evidently they didn't believe me and haven't changed it. The fact that yours is over 10 inches is proof that it isn't a peacock (and proof that they are wrong). Look at my albums to see pics of my 13 incher that is less than a year old (more proof that it isn't a peacock). It is actually just a variation of the regular pattern, tire track eels can range from being almost completely covered with the dark brown markings to having literally no markings at all, just like how fire eels' patterns can range from having no pattern (solid black/grey) to having a red, orange or even yellow pattern.Half-Fish-Half-Amazing;4125324; said:
Oh and also, the owner of that eel is either a really bad liar or they have been very misled b/c they claim that it is 15 years old and only 10 inches long
bs
No problem, I hate that that site is making everyone believe that these are peacocks.Half-Fish-Half-Amazing;4125338; said:
few peacocks ever get bigger than 10 in. though i did have one just under 12 inches when it died(no i have no pics, before this site sry)
