possible to breed eels ?

[Snarkys]

has anyone ever successfully breed eels ?

guess i should say I'm most curious about the golden dwarf morays

well yes and no.
I had a pair of breeding zebra eels, but never got any fry to survive past day 4. Green wolf eels have been shown a number of times to breed in captivity (not really an eels)

i was thinking the same thing on the gdm's
my question is how do you sex them?
do they change sex and if they do when would they?
i would love to breed these guys if thats possible

I would start with abase group of at least 3, preferably 5. then you know have a good chance of getting a male and a female. raise thm and take it from there.

hmm , that would be a costly adventure if no one has been sucsessfull at with any real eels so far.

Breeding ANYTHING is a costly adventure, but hey, somebody's got to be first

Frank,could you tell us more,this is awesome!
Where the eggs pelagic?.You witnessed the actual courtship/spawning?.
Of all fish larvae,I imagine(true) eels are the harder,near to impossible to raise.They have a leptacanthus larva taking very long time to develop,it is not clear wether they feed and on what.
Japanese are investing fortunes trying to crack the raising of the Anguilla eel.
