Well, I bought my little guy about three weeks ago from a LFS. He was labeled as a dinosaur eel. So, I assumed that it was a Senegal. It was Housed with 4 other similar fish. However, the one that I choose had a brown tint to his upper body with little spots around his dorsal fins and a more pinkish hue to the dorsal fin itself. The little guy is about four inches now and his slight brownish tint has tamed down a bit but his dark brown spots and reddish brown dorsal fin remains. I have read that juvenile senes start stripped and lose their stripes as they grow...I suppose this could explain why it has some differentiated colouration but if so I don't understand why the others where not spotted/stripped as well.
I tried to take some photos but he was hiding and/or wouldn't hold still when out of his hide.
Any thoughts?
