[fwprawn]

So, watching Dirty Jobs today, they went fishing for Slime Eels - Hagfish - Holy cow!!!! Great episode!
Good to see them in real life - Has anyone kept them in aquaria? I'd love to see videos, or photos.

They do keeping hagfish in capitivity, but not for display purposes.

i have been hearing they aren't even fish now. jawless fish are so primitive they cant be considered true fish

Well, they are not bony fish, they are invertebratess, but still are chordates
