Curious if anyone could help me ID this spiny eel. I'll post a better pick if I can get one.

Mastacembelus circumcinctus, the ZZ eel, or so it's called. A smaller species and I've found them to be a bit hardier than their larger cousins and sociable, as most small masties are, include peacocks.

Thank you very much I was hoping it was a Zig Zag. My LFS claimed so but for some reason I don't completely trust them ;-).

thanks again!
