Check out Armoured Birchir ( P.delhezi ), Ornate Birchir ( P.ornatipinnis ), Senegal or Cuvier's Birchir ( P.snegalensis ) and Marbled Birchir ( P.palmas ). If you are looking for Eels take a look at some of the smaller species of Asian Eels like Peacocks. Keep in mind that alot of those Birchirs will get to big for your tank.

A 29 gallon is too small for a Birchir. Try a Half banded Spiny/Peacock Eel.

Bichirs can get quite large so,if you want one you might want to think about a larger tank,as for pics check the link in my sig
