Yes, all fish of any kind are vertabrates belonging to the phylum chordata. Which means the animal has a spine and spinal chord. Humans also belong to this phylum of animals. Now when we start talking about shrimp and lobsters and such the answer becomes no, invertabrates have no spine and derive their shape from their exo-skeleton. Not all invertabrates however belong to the same phylum.
Can you extract electricity from an electric eel?
Yes, but we might not want to use it. The electric eel gets its electricity from its food, so it would me much easier to put solar panels on your roof and get energy from the sun then to get an electric eel and feed it so you can use its energy.

How do eels care for their young?
During the breeding season, a female echidna develops a rudimentary pouch - just a flap of skin - on its abdomen. The female echidna manages to lay a single egg in its pouch, and incubates the egg there. When the young hatches, it is fed on mother's milk which seeps from milk glands, not teats like other mammals. The young remain in a burrow, not the pouch, to continue their development. This is their most vulnerable stage, as snakes often enter the burrows and eat the young.
There are many different breeds of eels. So far none are known to have any hair, they have scaly skin.
How do you know if a trout is male or female?
1. One of best ways to distinguish the sex of a trout is to examine the mouth. Female trout all have a short rounded nose or upper jaw, while male trout have a more elongated snout. If your trout has a lower jaw with a kype, it's a male for sure. Although the mouth of a female trout will grow larger as it ages and increases in size, the mouth will never grow a kype (hooked lower jaw). Upon becoming sexually mature, male trout will begin to grow a pronounced kype. At first, it will just be a tell-tale sign, but as a male trout ages, its kype will become more pronounced. It's important to point out that even for trout that aren't sexually mature, an angler can look at the mouth of a trout and see either a uniform mouth with a short rounded nose (female), or a elongated snout with a slightly longer lower jaw (male).
2. Sexually mature male and female trout for both rainbows and browns have different looking anal fins. A male will have a slight convex anal fish "(", while a female trout's anal fin will be slightly concave ")". I'm not sure if cutthroat trout are in the same boat. I'll have to depend on the community who regularly catch them, to provide us their insight and confirm this.
What does a snowflake eel eat?
Yes, snowflake eels are carnivores.
