im a bit dense PWN?? explain please.

60 years really? ill be an old great grandma by then. bugger that!

i worked at the aquarium in CHCH for a time and they had a number that size. they said that they breed in the wild. hardly in captivity, said that in captivity, when there eyes go murky/blueish you need to release them so they can breed. or something like that. i might be wrong, it was a number of years ago now. ive had 3 kids since, so gone a bit mad. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

livingart thanks for that site, very interesting to read.

WOW, I saw the guy trying to pick up the eels at your place I'm sure my jaw dropped to the floor. Talk about HUGE!!!

Of course I don't like eels they remind me too much of a sssnnnakes. I remember one time years ago my husband & I were fishing and I got an eel on my line. YUCK, scared the heck out of me and it was nothing, nothing in comparison to the ones you have and on that site.

i like the tank did you diy that yourself? does it have ane form of lighting? i used to like going eeling a few years back but since ive found out more about them from this forum i wouldnt even think about it they take so long to grow i dont see how any fishing of them could be sustainable(im talking bout catching them to eat )

yes spoon should probably be an upper size limit on them

the younger ones are best tasting but the older ones have to much mana to kill them

they should have respect for how long they have managed to survive

yes constructed the tank, cut down a large water tank

cut it with a chainsaw, marked it for height i wanted

laid it on its side then rolled as i cut :D

best laugh was pulling the top off my son after it flopped on him

then cut top edge out to put back on base

tried open top but too much alge

so put top back on

cut window in out of 10mm acrylic
