need help to ID fish

[snowflake]

Hi all ...
I'm not even sure its a fish, maybe its an amphibian, or an invert? Its a long worm-like thing. Its not an eel, or an aquatic snake, and its not a newt. It has a weird name. I read about it somewhere but I cant remember where or what its called! I want to learn more about it and maybe get one, but I cant do any research because I dont know the name I do know that it doesnt really do anything, it burrows most of the time; and if I remember correctly, its a dark grey or black color.
I hope someone here can please help me figure this out, Im kinda goin nuts . thanks

A Kuhli Loach?

 

[snowflake]

Nah, its not a loach. It has a totally rounded head, just like a worm... I know I didnt dream this thing up LoL. Thanks for your reply anyway, chefkieth. Anyone else? Please?

 

[snowflake]

I mean I probably shouldnt even be bothering yall with this...I guess I just hoped that someone out there might know... It has no fins! I cant remember if it has some tiny appendages, like it used to have legs a few million years ago or something...but I'm pretty sure it doesnt have any and its just like a big worm...Arrgh!

 

[SimonWoodstock]

knife fish? that has a long fin though

maybe your talkin about a water dog?

where did you see this thing at?

 

[snowflake]

Ok...I just found what it is!!! Im sorry to bother yall with this thread LoL. Its an AXOLOTL. Its an amphibian, and it is a newt after all. LoL again sorry guys. See ya!

 

[snowflake]

Well, upon closer inspection the axolotl is NOT what I was looking for. I give UP!

I think I know what you might be looking for... Go HERE and check out the Amphiuma means and the Siren lacertina... They match your description. There's something else that comes to mind however. I can't remember the name of it but I've seen them for sale somewhere and at the National Zoo... I looked but couldn't come up with anything. I'm sure I'll remember it and I'll let you know if you don't find it...
