Agreed 100%.
I have been forced to use a 55 gallon rain barrel that I've sunken into the ground underneath my back deck and next to my Foundation. it receives zero sunlight and eels over time tend to change color, (stress lack of food or water temp) I dunno
I do airate the water and supply Ammo chips with in with activated charcoal.
On a three day heat wave of 95° my water temp with stay @ 70°
I will do a 30% water change once a month (pending on how many doz are in the tank).
I did watch an episode of Dirty Jobs when they were fishing for eels off the coast of ME.they were pulling them up from 200 to 400 feet of water & the majority of them where light green and white so go figure if it was due to water temp or migration, I dont know because Im not a Marine Biologist.
Guppy if you think about it,the chest you have is white in nature but when the chest is closed the lights are off and there's no color to be shown so it's a no brainer,as long as you airate that water and you have some discharge for the co to excape I honestly think you'll be fine.
