ok i saw a cool fish but i want more info on it before i get it so here it gos: its eel like but i don't think its a eel, the one i saw was about 1" or 1 1/2", it had a leoperd or tiger look to it and leoperd or tiger was in the name, i know it was under 8 bucks (i think it was $3.99) if anyone has any ideas thanx in avance
 
Ropefish or loach of some sort? But only 1-1½"?
There's gotta be hundreds of tiger/leopard named fish.
Was it striped or spotted? "Eel like" but not an eel in what way? Did it have fins? Describe the mouth? Any more clues?

If you are serious about owning it I'd definitely go find out what it is for a proper ID, then google up some care info before deciding.
Even a phone call to the lfs could narrow down what you are looking for... at this rate we could guess forever and still get it wrong.
 
Description sounds like a kuhli (or coolie - depends what your used to) loach, but with tiger/leopard in the name? Could be mis-named, or could be a completely different fish!

Theres some pics of kuhli loaches on this website below, with information:

If you go down the bottom and click on the species index, you might be able to find it if it isnt that.

Hope this helps,
Thom.
 
except for the tiger or lion in its name, sounds like a clown loach maybe??
 
i'm pretty sure it had spots and yes it had fins. oh i should of told u what color it is! its black and ithink yellow mabey a light orenge or gold
