Electrophorus Electricus Low-poly 3D model

This is a photo perfect model of an electric eel made with great skill and care. It is fantastic for a project I am working on and my only issue is that I am familiar with the new blender 2.8 and not 2.79, which is almost another programme the two are so different. I would also have likes a list of NKE animations added in blender 2.8 so that I could quickly make new animations of mouth etc. and transition them - I am very slow and making animations from scratch is extremely hard for me - I don't actually want to be bothered looking under the hood too much. What doesn't help is that there are bugs in Blender 2.8 or perhaps its the conversion to 2.8 from 2.79 files but things like the bones now showing (despite all the right settings) wast HUGE amounts of time for what should be simple if it worked. That's not the fault of the model though which is excellent - just wish was updated for Blender 2.8 with say ten or so NLE animations added - there is only the swimming one at present. I also have the basic Cinema 4D from the adobe CC suite with After Effects but it is a pain to use and I cannot afford the £60+ in the UK or so per month for the full C4D. I also have your plesiosaur which is excellent too - you are a genius.
