Good luck and keep us posted on how they do,

and eels are usually discussed in the bottom dwellers section, so it's been moved to there.

I have bred the peacock eels but I was lucky to find some magnificent specimens and I used hormone injection. Fairly straightforward with bright green eggs. Its not cost efficent breeding them though, so it was just for the challenge.

can u get any money out of it and:WTF: are hormone injections ond where can i get them

Spiney eels/peacock eels are a couple of cents each on wholesale lists ex Singapore.
Hormone costs a couple of hundred dollars a vial plus a veterinarian visit for prescription and since you are struggling to keep your eels alive I would say that your not quite ready for this yet.
