A guy who works at a fish store was telling me about a "sunshine" fire eel; A fire eel that has an orange instead of black body, and still has the red lines going down its body. Google can't find anything. I'm assuming he's making it up, but just to give him the benefit of the doubt, does such a thing exist?
 
I'm going ot go with its possibly an albino or xanthic morph... never seen one.. but wouldn't discount them existing.
 
I've seen ones with yellow/light orange stripes instead of red.. but an orange body? Doubt.
 
Of my 2 fire eels one has a way lighter body than the other. Red stripes with a light body. Kinda more tan. I snap a pic tomorrow when I feed them. I thought there was something wrong with him/her but its eating great and alive for almost a year.
