'Nother Eel!
Well, at last night's aquarium society potluck I was awarded (for most points in our club mini-shows) with a $50 credit at an [acronym:df4cbf531b="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:df4cbf531b]. So today I ran right down there and bought 16oz of bloodworms, 8 oz of frozen daphnia....and a new fire eel (about 8" long).....he seems to be settling in nicely. Soon I will have as many eels as I do bichirs.

Hey Toirtis....
My favorite [acronym:a5d276b077="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a5d276b077] just got in a shipment of 'Congo Spiny Eels'. They're African Mastacembelids that don't come from the Rift Lakes but I can't pin down the genus and species of these guys yet. Typical Spiny Eel shape and appearance but a very unique pattern of spots. I think I'm going to pick one up this weekend. -Joe

Pictures! I need pictures! Waitaminute....not Aethiomastacembelus congicus perchance?
I always search [acronym:bec1092488="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:bec1092488]'s peacock/tyretrack/fire/barred eel tanks for something else interesting that might have slipped in with the shipment, but nothing exciting yet. I am now at: 3 fire eels 2 barred spiny eels 2 tyretrack/zig-zag eels 2 peacock eels

Could be Aethiomastacembelus congicus, though the Fishbase picture doesn't do it justice. I guess I'll just have to go back and buy one just to be sure.
