You want a SPINY EEL or FIRE or TIRETRACK EEL can be kept completely FW gets a decent size and is friendly. Look them up.
30" FIRE EEL (MR EEL) - YouTube

You can get one as a baby for about ten dollars and raise up a sweet monster like this. Best if you keep it alone in my opinion. Get it a big tank.
You could also get a ropefish

I say get a 55G and the standard Spiny eel that gets about 12-15". It will be ok in there for life.
If you put any fish with it, make sure they are surface dwelling and very peaceful and large and will not attack the eel. The eel may attack them as it ages, it is wise to keep the eel alone.
As a baby, it could live with platies, for instance, and the babies would be good for it (sorry if that offends anyone).
Another option is a Bichir, which is similar looking to an eel.
