I most definitely found it!! It’s often sold as a snowflake eel but really is an Indian eel. Sorry for the posts you got me curious. They live in freshwater/brackish waters and I’m telling you right now they aren’t beginner species. Take it back or donate it to an aquarium lol they aren’t fully saltwater animals and when young live in freshwater.
You know I did see some conflicting answers on what type of water they live in lol and going back it maybe doesn’t sound as clear as I thought it would be. The second link I posted is correct then.Those are super-common in the trade, so that I think that is what it is. They did get the salinity thing a bit backwards: they imply these eels "can" live in full saltwater when adults, when actually, they "cannot" live in pure freshwater as adults. Many people have bought these for their FW tanks, only to find that they stop eating and die as they grow. They do best in full seawater.
