best way to keep eels alive for a week

[RIJIMMY]

a week is pushin it but they should, keep em damp.

40 gallon rubermaid trash barrel, go to petsmart and buy an aquaclear 20 powerhead, add water, add eels, Keep a tight lid on, and keep in the coolest spot you can. change out 50% of the water every other day and fill up with cold water. Worked for me for keeping 2 dozen for over a week last summer. It is a budget version of what tackle shops use, not sure if tackle shops add any additives or not to the water.

5gal. bucket, black or green trash bag unless you have a black bucket, cheap aquarium air pump - 12.00
Tie a stainless bolt or sinker on end of air tube so that it will stay in bottom of bucket, add fresh water, cover and they should last.
Change water every couple of days

If put in white bucket they will change color

I've had my cheap pump for about 15 years. Also use it to irrate clams to get sand out.
