if ur into eels or eel-like animals, check out tire track, fire, and FW moray too.

other odd creatures which seem prehistoric looking include lungfish and varieties of polypterus

i usually tell my customers however not to attempt such snake-like creatures in SA cuz they might look like one big tasty worm to the majority of SA and their bass-like mouths.

on occassion i suppose it might work if ur fish are well-fed and a big tank......the shape of eels are so dissimiliar to SA that they might not take notice and leave it alone...ie not a rival...., assuming ur a betting man and willing to take the chance. lol....the other approach is to buy them all young and let them grow up together......another is to not feed the SA live food cuz it otherwise makes them more aggressive vs. just feeding pellets or food sticks.

The city north of where I live has a great store with lots of exotics. Yeah, if I were to do it I wouldn't get another Eel, just an "eel like" fish and keep it in it's own tank (with a tight lid.. LOL). I found a picture and decription of the Purple Spaghetti Eel (I've also heard it called an Elephant Eel... but you know how pet shops are).

My friends father owns a petstore so I've had fish tanks with all kinds of fun creatures since I was a kid.
