Eel eggs typically hatch in about 10 to 12 days, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and salinity. After hatching, the larvae, known as leptocephali, begin their journey toward freshwater or coastal areas. The specific timing can vary among different species of eels, but this general timeframe is common.

Eels hatch from eggs. Most species of eels, including the European eel and the American eel, are known to spawn in the Sargasso Sea, where the female lays eggs that hatch into larvae. These larvae eventually migrate to freshwater or coastal habitats, where they mature into adult eels.
On average, a female electric eel will lay about 17,000 eggs in a nest. These will all hatch, but very few of them will even make it to their first year of life.
An eel does not feed its baby. The eel will just lay its eggs & don't bother about them. When the baby eels hatch from their eggs, they have to find their own food. Only a very few get to survive. That is why eels are very few to be found.

Electric eels are not actually eels but rather a type of knifefish. They are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs. The female electric eel can lay thousands of eggs at a time, which are then fertilized externally by the male. The eggs hatch into larvae, which eventually develop into juvenile electric eels.

None, or next to none. Fish as a rule aren't big on parenting. Most will simply lay and fertilize their eggs and then they're done. A select few will guard their eggs, but once the eggs hatch, the baby fish is on its own.
In one hatching a female can lay 10-20 million eggs. This is an extremely large amount and you might be wondering how they are becoming endangered if so many eggs are laid. Many eels do not end up hatching, do not survive the long, hard journey to freshwater, get eaten by predators, die of starvation, die of habitat loss or die from being fished. This creature is truly amazing and unique in many different ways, so we should do our best to keep it from extinction.
Snipe eels, which are part of the Opisthoteuthidae family, typically have a low reproductive rate. They can produce around 20 to 40 eggs at a time, which are often released into the water column. The eggs hatch into larvae, which then develop in the ocean. However, specific reproductive behaviors can vary by species and environmental conditions.
