Eel fishs

Eel fishs (Anguilliformes) are an order of fish which consists of four suborders, 20 families, 111 genera and approximately 800 species. Most eels are predators. The term "eel" is also used for some other similarly shaped fish, such as electric eels and spiny eels, but these are not members of the Anguilliformes order.
Eels are elongated fish, ranging in length from 5 centimetres (2.0 in) to 4 metres (13 ft). They have 4 common species: American eel (Anguilla rostrata), European eel (Anguilla anguilla), Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), Short-finned eel (Anguilla australis).
