it's a lot more likely that it will die before this happens. these eels suck in captivity.

I was reading about that. I guess about 95% will never eat in captivity so they slowly starve to death. However this one is eating, not a lot but it is eating a little bit.

These should not be kept in captivity, but we as the "master race" do as we see fit now don't we

FYI it's not mine, I saw it at the store and thought it was cool so I took pic.'s of it. I know their next to impossible to keep alive in captivity.
