are you guys feeding the eels to keep them alive or do they not need to eat? I'm confused....

Geeze, what's next PETA approved bait tanks?

I can keep 60 alive for weeks in my tank with few casualties except in the summer, I keep less alive then b/c they can't take the heat. I leave little copies of Eelquire and set up a little massage parlor in there, they love it . I also name them...

Since I became a boat guy I have been keeping them in a minnow bucket at my dock. Last time I had about 18 eels in the bucket. 2 days later they were all gone. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& says that a parasite got into the bucket and ate them. I think the parasite had 2 legs and an outboard.

No boat, back in the suds.

Sounds like that parasite might be named billius nolanicus .... I don't think any parasite could eat 18 eels in 2 days and leave no trace...
