Need an ID

[N-E Cichlids]

Customer brought this in yesterday. Found it in a ditch with just a little water. It was dead by the time he got it to me. Looks like an eel of some sort, but I have never seen one like this.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, but all I have was my camera phone.

Lampreys are jawless, you can clearly see a jaw......

My best guess is an asian swamp eel.

Yup Asian Swamp Eel

Looks from those shots like a Monopterus species, commonly called Tulip Eels or Swamp Eels.
