An electric eel. the action exhibit on them at the New York Aquarium is simulated- or faked, it is extremely difficult to get electrical conduction under water without shock hazards, false readings, etc. the (Show Go Round) adaptation with noisy sound effects and flashing tubes is more Showmanship than science. I happen to know this exhibit is faked, the Eels are real and dangerous enough/
