I was watching a documentary on Netflix about true eels, and realized that unlike most species that migrate between Saltwater and Freshwater, eels spend theirs entire adult life in Freshwater, only living the ocean as larvae and then going back years later to breed. So it seems based on this life cycle they could be kept in freshwater setups, though obviously they could not breed. But I had heard that most "freshwater" eels (not so called [spiny] "eels") sold in the fish trade, such as snowflake eels (not the SW variety), are in reality brackish.
So are there any true eel species sold that can be kept in Freshwater? They are such fascinating fish!
