wikipedia - 29 Nov 2022Electrophorus is a genus of Neotropical freshwater fish in the family Gymnotidae, commonly called electric eel. Fish in this genus are known as electric eels for their ability to stun their prey by generating electricity. Despite its name, the electric eel is not closely related to the true eels (Anguilliformes) but is a member of the neotropical knifefish order (Gymnotiformes), which is more closely related to the catfish.
