Dixon1990 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 How rare are albino eels? I know someone that has seen one twice in thier stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Quite rare id imagine. Albino's would have a lot less camouflaged so may have a less chance of survival in the wild. I wouldn't mind a albino pet eel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Eels are a commercial quota fish. I believe you need a permit to fish for them to be able to sell them (for food). Then you can only sell them to someone who has a permit to buy them to sell to the public..... I THINK that is how it goes. You can catch them to eat yourself or to put in your aquarium, but I suspect it is illegal to sell them for aquarium use (unless you farmed them).

coelacanth Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 it is illegal to sell NZ eels without a permit (presumably the people who sell glass eels and elvers on trademe are doing so illegally), but you can catch them for your own aquarium. And yes you can donate one to a public aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
