So I went fishing the other day and just before we left my friend was wandering around and found something... So he was walking around where the water goes from the lake to the stream through a waterfall and he started yelling that there were weird worms in the water. I INVESTIGATED THE SITUATION and it was like a pile of crazy worms clumped to the side of the rock, in just 1/4 inch of water right against the waterfall in the current. I looked closer and they looked like eels, tiny, baby eels. I got a net and tried to get them but they were so fast (so so fast...) that they just freaked out and went through the holes in the net. I grabbed a bottle out of the water, scooped them in the net, and actually caught two of them in the bottle. I was right - BABY EELS! WILD BABY EELS!
I put them in my fish tank and my fire eel ate one almost immediately, the other was gone just 20 minutes later. As I was getting ready for bed though, I was looking at the tank... AND THERE HE WAS! He had his tiny little face sticking out of the gravel! This was 4 days ago and he is still alive. Sometimes he swims around like speed-demon, he is so fast it is absolutely ridiculous. Other times I think he got eaten cuz he's nowhere to be found.
I took some picks but it is so fast they didnt come out too well. I cant tell if it is an American Eel or a Tulip/Swamp Eel. Its about 3 or 4 inches long and reaaaaaaally thin with red under its neck (thats why it almost looks like it could be a swamp eel).
I tried posting the pics but when I click on the manage attachments button, it pops up and says "You have uploaded the maximum of 0 files" and doesnt let me select any.
