An editor's note here. Yes, we did include some fish that are truly not considered eels. This would be animals like the Bichirs who are lung fun and technically not eels. Our blog always has more details than our YouTube videos, which we limited to at most 12-14 minutes. We always suggest visiting our website to get the full details as they always go more in-depth than our videos.

Technically the only eels was the so called "Fresh-water" moray eels, at the beginning and the end, they are in fact Brackish-water moray eels to have a better quality of life. Both being found in the order Anguilliformes (eel form fish), they are of the eel group. The others was different species of spiny eel-tail fish, Bichir fish, Reed (Rope) fish.

Fire eel all the way! Never uprooted my anubias.

[phillipheath]

What is that red eel? Been trying to figure it out 1:23

[joshuaeverett]

My only gripe is that in the first few images you weren't showing just Eels. Birchir's are lung fish, but they are not Eels. That's a common confusion.
