You could probably keep a child in a tiny room and feed it corn flakes, it will probably live a long time but that doesn't mean it is going to be healthy.

Exactly! Awesome avatar!
It's you're. And your definition of proven is slightly skewed. It is more so assumed than proven. Even if it does shorten their life span it is not by a significant amount. Many species of "freshwater" eel have life expectancies of 10 to 15 years. I do agree brackish water is best. But I do not believe it is necessary. 12 years is a long life for some species and my teachers eel will live much longer.
What makes you so sure that it will "live much longer" that some disease wont come into the tank tomorrow and kill it because its immune system is shot due to being in the environment it lives in naturally,
you are arguing one case against many that have been stated on this site, stop arguing your single fact against many arguments you are making Canadians seem ignorant
Give us the specific breed of your teachers eel and we can look up life expectancy, dont say "many" then we can look up the life expectancy of that breed and see how long into its life it is.
Next off just because one has lasted that long doens't mean all them can, who knows maybe this one singular eel for some reason is resilient to fresh water, why are you arguing the FACT that this is a brackish eel and keeping all brackish animals in freshwater is unhealthy

I agree with aclockworkorange, without knowing the species this argument will get no where... since for all we know, it may actually be one of the freshwater spiny eels and not a true moray of some sort...

You have the audacity to point out a grammar error when you are suggesting it is perfectly fine to keep brackish species in freshwater?
I can't remember the species. He was talking about it on the first day of class but I wasn't paying attention. I remember a student asking how old it was and he said 12 and explained the life expectancy was around 10-15. I'll ask next class. And if he has taken good enough care of it for it to live twelve years and grow to the size it has ( around two feet ) I'm sure it isn't going to just suddenly get a disease. And as I already said I do agree brackish water is best. I just do not think it is necessary for a healthy life for some fish. ( some fish are more tolerant to freshwater than others obviously)
