ELECTRIC EEL

[Zoodiver]

I just visited the OKLAHOMA AQUARIUM and saw an electric eel on exhibit. I did not pay much attention to the tank size but I'm guessing that it was about 200 gallons. I have to asume that aquarium scientist would go to all extremes to properly care for the animals on display.

That's actually a bit misleading. They have a young animal in a rather small display. It will not be there for it's full life, and they have the ability of moving to the larger tank when the time comes.

Most displays at public facilities pull this trick. They have limited exhibit space, so set it up to display juvie animals until they reach a pre set size.
