Hello All,
First time posting, but hoping you all can help me with identifying this spiny eel. I can’t tell if its a zig zag or half-banded. I’m hoping it’s the zig zag, because I have a 240 gallon tank with growing large American cichlids and a decent size fire eel. If its the half banded, I’ll probably have to return it because it’ll be too small. Thanks!

Coloring is quite dark but think it’s a half banded eel.
