What kind of eel is this??

If it was a tire track, I doubt the markings would make perfect rows like that.Experiment397;4379093; said:
According to fishbase, they get to 12", but the website below claims that they can actually get to 20". Although tbh, I don't trust their info anymore, after they claimed that what was actually a tiretrack eel was a peacock and was only 10" after 18 years (obviously a lie).

And this is the page with the TT eel that they were trying to convince me was actually a peacock eel (it's the eel in the first pic on the page):

Looks just like the one I picked up.. 12-20inches is what I've seen. the 12" is based on 3 specimens collected.. but they've been imported for the pet-trade as large as 20" supposidly. I'de say realistically 12"+ so a 75 should be adequite or a 125. My guy is still very reclusive. seems to be as boisterous as a TT though, I've already had to block off the HoB as he went up into my filter the night I got it.
Judgeing from the head size/body. I'm inclined to believe they get respectably size. their not as "petite" looking as a peacocks or zig zags head imo.

I agree, based on the body and head shape alone, I would expect them to get fairly large (although I doubt they get quite as big as tire tracks).MonsterMinis;4379550; said:
