This past weekend I went to the lfs and purchased 2 eels. They were labled Spiny Eeel. Since we already have 2 Spiny Peacock Eels in the tank, we thought that we'd give them two new friends Well, I got home and tried to look them up online to figure out what type of Spiny Eel they are, but I can't find anything that looks like them. On the end of their body they have spots just like the Peacock Eel except they have 6 or 7. They also have dark stripes down the sides. They look similar to the Peacock but their attitude is a lot different.
The Peacocks that we first had tend to burrow in the sand and they hardly ever come out. These new ones never burrow. It's like they have no interest in burrowing. They hang out all day long and I have yet to see them go in the sand. They actually love to hang from the greenery.
Can someone help me ID these Eels? I am desperate. I have been searching online for days but can't come across what they are.
