on trade me there is an auction called Lourie the Eel for sale...it is a nz native eel and comes with a tank etc..are you allowed to sell nz native eels ?

If you have the paperwork including quota

I saw that auction, I want an eel.

Go catch one.

Yeah, but then I would have to set up another tank for it :roll: not possible right now.

can probably save one from a Sea Mart if you're desperate

Kind of :smot: but my cat catches eels :evil: :roll: :lol: Thankfully not too often. But boy are they hard to pick up! Last time she jumped in through the lounge window with one and dropped it onto the carpet in a hard to get to place (behind the recliner and coffee table) and I tried picking it up and kept dropping it ... eventually I managed to hold onto it long enough to chuck it into a plastic bag EWWW and then I took it outside. We have a reserve behind our house...

You'd need a large swimming pool to house one properly methinks, not just a tank haha! My friend has a stream behind his yard and you can see dozens of eels there - absolutely massive. :nfs:

Haha i remember getting eels in the lounge purposefully when i was a kid to freak my poor mum out. :sml1:

I remember throwing some over the fence and into the school swimming pool. Great idea but didn't calculate on the chlorine.

Oops!

Oh no!!! But so funny... would have been funny if there were kids in the pool :slfg: :slfg: :slfg:

I remember this camp I went to twice as a kid that had a lake with a slide going into it and I wouldn't swim in there because they told us there were eels in it. Not sure if there really was... but I wasn't going to find out LOL
