How do you catch a conger eel?

The conger eel is found all around the coast of Britain. It favours wrecks, reefs and rough, rocky habitats. During the hours of darkness they tend to swim in shallower waters closer to the shore.

Boat anglers catch most of the larger specimens. Breakwaters, harbour walls, jetties, piers and rocky estuaries will also produce good catches. Thunder and storms are said to stimulate the feeding habits of freshwater eels and sea anglers believe these kind of weather conditions also improve the chances of catching conger. == Conger eel are heavy, powerful fish. Choose a well built boat rod of about two and a half metres in length. A sturdy multiplier reel is essential to hold plenty of heavy duty fishing line. Large weights are needed to keep the bait deep in the water. Take care when handling long sea hooks because some are manufactured with sharp barbs on the shanks! Tackle shop owners will offer helpful advice when you are selecting equipment. == A general rule followed by anglers is the bigger the fish you're after, then, the bigger the bait you need. This rule certainly applies to conger eel fishing. One of the most successful bait for conger is freshly caught mackerel. Mackerel is an oily fish and when cut up and placed on the hook will emit a pungent odour that will attract predators. Another way to attract conger with mackerel bait is to make a "flapper". This is an entire mackerel with the backbone and guts removed. The side fillets of the mackerel flap around in the swell of the tide or with the jerk of the rod. This movement resembles an injured or vulnerable fish and will prove irresistible to a hungry predator. Being part of the conger's natural diet, squid is a popular bait to use in deep water. == When you get a bite on the hook be patient. Give the conger time to take the bait into its mouth. Pull the rod up sharply and strike. The fish may descend into a deep dive and it is pointless to try and stop it. Let line out from the reel and wait. Start reeling in when the dive has stopped but watch out for a repeat performance.

What do electric eel's eat?

Grown eels eat little fish and babies eat insects.

It also shocks a human and leaves a sting, or it shocks its prey.

Electric eels can eat fish that are good in size for them and they have been known to shock them. An electric eel has its charge for defense and to (like lots of eels), kill and eat smaller prey, like fishes. Electric Eels are predatory fish that will eat almost any animal that's small enough to fit into their mouth. In the wild this mainly includes fish, invertebrates and small mammals. You will probably have to feed them live fish at first but usually they can be trained to eat dead freshwater fish such as defrosted frozen smelt.

They can grow as large as 8 feet long and can weigh as much as 45 pounds, although the size attained in an aquarium will be smaller. They are not a particularly active fish so they will not need a tank as large as other species their size would require. If the tank is longer that the fish is and it has plenty of room to turn around, it should suffice but remember that even in captivity, this fish can grow to over 4 or 5 feet.

Does a moray eel have teeth?

Like most fish, Moray Eels don't have eyelids, so they can't close their eyes (as with humans and animals) to go to sleep. However, eels (as with most fish), do enter a 'resting state' and do seem to stop moving while they sleep, but certain fish cannot afford to stop moving, as they must stay in motion to get oxygen by having water constantly moving over their gills. Eels tend to live in nooks between rocks or in coral reefs which provide some degree of protection whilst they are awake or sleeping.
