ODDBALL EXPERTS NEED ID HERE

[peewee]

Went my way earlier to a nearby beach to buy myself some fresh coconuts to drink, on my way as i was riding my bicycle i saw a makeshift live fish store (for food) with lots of tanks. i stopped to see what's in the tank and saw typical live fish such as groupers, fresh water crabs, some target fish of some sort, etc.... then i saw these eel like fish, lots of it. they really look like true monster. they are long and quite thick, at least a meter. asked the guy selling fishes and said they were caught in a nearby river. he said they are tasty, but i beg to disagree due to their looks. lol. anyone know what they are? I want them in my bichir tank as tankmates. and also any info on them?

Here are pics:

the thing is we have that eel here too ( in Egypt ) specially in the Nile river ...

i made an ID thread here too for the same eel but he does not eat in aquarium

but still the most harder is how to feed them mine * as he was a wild caught * so he did not ate till he died and when he died he was so stinky Slimy and even other monsters couldn't ate him lol
