Not electric eels, but electric catfish ...

"The first known depiction of an electric catfish is on a slate palette dated around 3100 BC. These catfish were known as the THUNDER OF THE NILE and were described as the 'protectors' of all other fish. The Ancient Egyptians called them 'angry catfish'"
