Electric eels legal in North Carolina?

[kissofcrimson]

I can't find a list of legal/illegal fish anywhere and was wondering if electric eels are legal here? Or if you have to have a permit. Any links or information is appreciated.

I moved this to the proper forum. E eels are not true eels. They're a large species of knife fish.

And, E eels are not on N. Carolina's prohibited list. Here's a link to the restricted species lists: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?191893-RESTRICTED-SPECIES-LISTS-BY-STATE

I had no idea they were not true eels.

You don't want an electric eel. They get to be 8' and could kill you during a water change.

Only professionals with massive tanks should have them at public aquariums for show, and since you are asking a question on here I'm guessing that is not you.

Be like the rest of us and satisfy your phalic love for eels with a fire eel or tire track eel.

Ah I didn't know that. Learn something new everyday. And thanks oddball for the link.

I'm not interested in eels and would never get one but someone I know does and I doubt he would ever get it. I was just curious because I thought they were illegal here.
