What type of fish-snake thing was this?!?

I saw a really really cool water thingy at a pet store once..and I really want one.I’ll try my best to explain what it looked like.

It really looked Chinese..like you know that parade they have with the dragon?Just like that!It had whiskers.and had a mean-face look.it was about 8 inches long and very skinny.it was sorta a brownish/greenish color.and Looked so much like a snake but it had a tail with fins(I think) it was really cool and sorta cute lol.so do you know what it could be?
I forgot to mention it eats crickets.

It is called an African Rope Fish.

    There are numerous colorations and patterns, so you may have seen a different variety, but the size, whiskers, and the greenish/brown color are quite common.
