I bring home some of the bubble weed and freeze it so when I buy eels I can keep them alive while in transport. When I have leftovers I bring them home and put them in a 5 gallon bucket with about 3 gallons of water (I leave 5 uncapped gallon size bottles of water out overnight to allow the chlorine to evaporate) and use an aquarium air pump, hose and air stone (Walmart has all of it cheap). After filling the bucket with the water refill the bottles so you can change some of the water daily. They will last for days as long as you do the 30% water changes each day and keep the water aerated. Keep the bucket with the eels out of direct sunlight so the water does not get hot.
