[Soil]

second one says Frenatus VF, Macrognathus frenatu

There we go.

I wouldn't think such an uncommon fish would have a common name...

anyways, the first one is actually a macrognathus meklongensis, max size around 6''. haven't heard of the second one...

first pic look like juvi peacock eels.. not sure about the second pic.

I think the eel in the second pic is a starry night eel, but I don't know the scientific name.

We'll find out soon enough. Gonna order 5 of them soon, and from what I could find on google they'r some sort of "longtail spiny eel" or slender eel
