I bought what the store said is a dinosaur eel about a year ago, but it doesn't have the extruded nostrils that all the pictures show (or the crooked tail). Can anyone tell me if it is a dinosaur eel or something else?

Would you happen to have a picture of your eel?

ropefish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus) commonly called dinosaur eels also.

Petsmart sells senegal bichirs, aka cuvier's bichir, as a dinosaur eel.
