Electric eels do not take any part in raising their young. Up to 1200 eggs are laid in a nest built by the male, the parents do not stay with the nest. Many of the eggs are consumed by other predators prior to hatching.

Basically, they don't. They lay their eggs, fertize them and swim off. As the eggs hatch, the young eels are left to survive by themselves.

They are actually fish, and not true eels. The mother lays eggs, which are fertilized outside the body- like most fish.
