Both were freshwater.

I agree I also HATE common names. I swear they made them up when the fish came in. Anyway I didn't get a good look at the starry night eel but the black leopard eel was a spiney eel(I think). They are suppose to call me when they catch the starry eel so I can get a good look at him.

The black leopard eel was only 4 inches long but had a thicker body. It was shaped like a fire eel but was dark brown with a lighter brown stripe running along it's back.

Like I said I didn't get a look at the starry night eel but he said it was thinner and shaped more like a kuhli loach but had a pointed nose.
He said it kind of looked like this:


Though I haven't seen it yet so I can't confirm.

Almost gonna have to have pics with a name like that. I would look at photos of FW eels, and see what you find, or get a photo at the store.
