get for you.

Clay, et al, Does this sound like an axolotl to you?

Hi, Rick.

I found your GSAS site and hope to find an answer that I'm not finding on
the web as I look.

My friends and I ate lunch Friday in a restaurant that had a freshwater
aquarium near the door.  There were one or two Rope Fish in the aquarium,
but I thought the waitress was misusing the term because the fish really did
have front legs with elbows and fingers.  They weren't just handlike fins;
they were hands.  The heads were flattened like catfish with gills, but I
still thought it might be a freaky long salamander variety.  

The long body was flattened like a tadpole's tail, and there were no hind
legs.

Do any Rope Fish actually have bona fide legs?

Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Regards,

Jason K. Anders
