Not true eels.

(Compare hernesheir's excellent list at https://www.wordnik.com/lists/eels for more.)

Wikipedia informs us that "The term "eel" is also used for some other eel-shaped fish, such as electric eels (genus Electrophorus), spiny eels (family Mastacembelidae), and deep-sea spiny eels (family Notacanthidae). These other clades, however, evolved their eel-like shapes independently from the true eels." (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eel&oldid=1033217261)
