I agree with Piemma and BackBeach. I keep mine alive in a 10 gallon container placed in the coolest part of my basement with a $10 aquarium pump. Change the water regulary and cull any eels for riggies that look like they're starting to expire - better to do this before they die as dead eels will get "fuzzy" and will funk up your tank. If you keep the water level high make sure you put a screen or cover over the container - they will jump out on occasion. One time an eel jumped out of my container into a batch of styrofoam packaging peanuts. My wife goes into the basement and there are styrofoam peanuts wiggleing across the floor - freaked her out. Anyway - keep the tank clean, the water cool, and the eels will live a long time. And DON'T feed them - food just funks up the water.
