electric eel
Although the electric may look like an eel, it really isn't a true eel, but specially adapted fish related to what other species?

Have you guys considered the possibility that this is a trick question?
( or was that a trick question...? )
Yes MP, you're thinking Electric catfish, in it's own subfamily of Malapteridae.

Orders & families are completely different things.
The Electric Eel is in it's own family.
