Can anyone tell me what species of fish/eel this is???? It is in a freshwater tank.?
I know that it is not a peacock eel, what type is it and any links will help! Here are some pics of the fish/eel the lighting is bad but he/she does have whiskers on the head. (If that helps)
Thanks so much!

He/she was found like this at a flea market, we are also big animal lovers so we got him/her and now has a great home in my son's 55 gallon tank. The tank was gross etc etc that he/she was in but I was making sure if he /she the species so I could determine whether he needed to go into the community tank or our aggressive tank. Thanks for all the answers!

It's NOT a dragon fish/goby like someone else said. It is DEFINITELY a dojo loach, also called a weather loach. They are a scaleless fish, not an eel. http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Oddball,%20Dojo.htm Here is some info. By the way, why is it in so little water? I hope that is not your fish and you are keeping it with such a low water level, that's not cool at all, man. Get it some more water! And clean it while you're at it! I also can't tell how big your tank is, but it doesn't look big enough--they can get to be a foot long!

A dragonfish. I am 100% sure about this. They are fresh water tropical fish that prefer 75-80 degree water. Get a heater and a filter and you are all set! They eat frozen brine shrimp, also. Look at this picture I found. It looks just like yours! I'm positive it's a dragonfish.
