hmmm what can they be?

[rocketboy]

Hey i have two fish to ID:

I think this is a tire track eel, but I'm not sure, cant seem to find pics that look like him:




and, I think this is a red terror, i bought it in a tank with green terrors and was told it was the female green terror,(maby they got the 2 confused?) which i know its not its not a gt for sure . its almost doubled in size in oh i would say around 2 months and is now starting to get a reddish tint to its fins:





Those last three pictures were the same fish, but changes colors. And he goes completely black. Ive search the internet and cannot find any pictures like it .If anyone has any idea of what it could be please tell me, its been driving me nuts trying to figure out what this guy is.
thanks for your help

Well the fish in the net looks like a convict cichlid.. but if that is the same fish as the one above and below, it can't be a convict.

zig zag eel and red terror guessing

It looks like one of the eels BA had a while back and they had labled it "tanginikya eel"

However I don't see a mtch in this list:

Looks like it might be a female blue acara
I've heard that the stripes on the red terror closest to its head come together to make a Y

Possibly wild caught red devil, I've read certain populations are striped like convicts. I don't think the eel is a zig zag or tire track

That is a red devil. I hope you have a big tank. They are adorable as juvies but they get massive

Maybe it is a Red Devil this guy trying to ID his too looks like yours   http://www.cichlids.com/pictures/pic/cichlid-10.html

well its pretty similar to the barred midas, i think i can say case closed for this guy(unless someone comes up with a different id) . i actually have 2 pure orange midas in there with him/her at the moment. Thanks a bunch guys for your help i would have never looked in that direction .
as for the eel the ones stated above, some of them do have similar coloration and markings but the nose on them are pointy, my guys nose is rounded (i don't know if you notice but if you scroll over a little on the first picture you can see its head)

Thanks alot again for your help and hopefully someone can figure out what kind of eel i have.

I think you may have a hybrid/cross bread on your hands. It seems to have characteristics of a few different eels. Although im not too sure if that is possible with these species.
