No...Geoffrey might be right about it being a barracuda. If I go back to the zoo soon I'll find out about it but the trip was a birthday present so I doubt I'll be going back for a long time

That is a good probability, tajminator. But this is a nice fish too, I'd like a lot to know more about it. Have any clue?

well perhaps the zoo originally had electirc eels in that tank and never took down the sign

This is the real electric eel (or, as it is known in Brazil, Poraquê - Pow-rah-kay):
