I seen this video and I want to do what this guy did but can't find how he did it exactly. Anyone here know how to do this? I get an eel Friday and would love to do this myself.

Electric Eel - How To

Im gettng the speaker with the eel, which is cool too but Id like to figure this out as well.
What do you think? Yes, No, Maybe?
I used a brass kick plate, 12 guage solid wire, connected it to an extension cord, then cord into LED lights.
I placed the panels in the water, now off to get the eel.
It makes sense to me, electricity going through the water, hits the panels, travels up the panel, all the way to the LED lights, and Bam, lights flicker on and off. At least that is how Im thinking it will happen.

I found this:
Aquarium workers installed a conductive copper wire in the eel's tank, then ran the wire to a pine tree festooned with colored Christmas lights. Every time the eel brushed against the wire, a surge of electric power would zap the ornaments to life!
So I removed the panels, and just put in the copper wires, doubled them up, even touched the eel and nothing happened.
Also found he is using a madcap device..
