No not at the moment ill try catching it in the morning and post a picture ,but no its not a tiretrack or fire eel its way smaller and skinnier almost looks like a indian glass eel but has the face of a peacock eel , when i bought it it was marked down as a starry night eel ?
 
Could be an african slender or longtail eel. You could call them and ask for the full name..or maybe they labeled it wrong.. I've seen LFS unable to identify zig zags and tiretracks.
 
Someone on MFK posted a thread like this, does it look like this pic?

There are literally soooooooo many species of eels in the same family as peacocks and zig zags.It could be hard to identify.
 
I found this chart with a bunch of the spiny eels on it before but I can't seem to find it now..
