If you lived in Australia and were offered an extremely unique fish, would you consider purchasing it?
Forget legalities and all that, if you had a passion for unique and extremely RARE fish.. would an electric eel interest you?
At present, it is roughly 6 inches long…
Cheers!

it would be a neat fish to have but i would probably not buy it because they don't do anything haha iv seen a few and they never move. although they do look neat.
If I had the room and money, and no children or drunk visitors.:grinyes:

Electric eels are a tad risky to keep with little kids and cats or deppressed teenagers. but if none of these things are problems to the individual then maybe it could be managed from the common perspective.. I do not support the removal of fish from their native habits without intention to spawn them in order to prevent wild capture. Considering that no electric eels have been captively bred, I will by no electric eel although they are quite the oddity
