A little late to this posting (been fishing and havent been on in awhile) but thought I would share my "make-shift" live well.
Stole my wifes large tupper-ware storage container (3'x1.5') = free, bought a cheap aquarium pump = $10.00 and airstone =$1.00 and Prime (which is a additive)= $10.00.
Add water half way to the top and then add Prime (1/4 capful)...add airstone to airpump and turn airpump on and eels will stay for over 2 weeks easy. I have had them stay 4 weeks this past fall using this system. The key is Prime...which removes Chlorine, Chloramine and Ammonia and Detoxifies Nitrites and Nitrates all in one bottle....one bottle will last you 3-4 years as the stuff is very concentrated. And water changes only once a week (25%). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LID FIRMLY ATTACHED!
I keep 2 dozen at all times in my basement at all times. And all this only cost $22.00, thats if you have a wife to steal from!
Good fishing,
Fireman
