Me either...Redlite is a real paranoid freak if you ask me...what's particularly bothering to me about him though is his sudden concern for the elvers. Next thing you know he'll be buying a lathe and his wife will be pregnant with triplets.

If you use the ice bucket system your eels will quickly darken, white buckets or not. I'll take the lightest eels the shop has if they are the right size and they are dark within hours and black the next day. I'm thinking of opening a gourmet eel shop where you can select size and color

LOL. and the men with the straight jackets and the keys to the rubber room will be right around the corner as that will surely make him mad as a hatter. Plug building and raising triplets at the same time will certainly put a crimp on his dark eel fishing.

black buckets will keep eels from changing color. a dozen for one five gallon bucket works for me
