Vinegar eel

How would you go about selling these? Can I sell them in a screw on bottle half full then close it when the buyer is picking it up?

At our fish club, some folks sell them in sealed plastic food storage containers. They fit 2/3 with the vinegar mixture, and leave ca. 1/3 air t the top. One breeder sells his with an added piece of sponge since the eels like a bit of structure to group around.

I think that you could sell them in any bottle. Vinegar Eels are very hardy. I did find, however, that you want to keep them away from sustained periods of direct sunlight on a window sill. I buy vinegar "with the mother" in from the natural foods section of our grocery store and add that as my use depletes the vinegar. Sometimes I add a small slice of fresh apple . . . but I'm not convinced that's all that necessary.

If you haven't watched it, Cory's recent visit to Dean's fishroom features a lovely Vinegar Eel setup. It's worth watching just to see the Eels!! 😂

I used to do eels with a jar just like that. It's a pain in the butt though.

can you use regular tap water or it has to be dechlorinated?

I used regular tap water that sat in a bucket over night but the city I live in doesn't put much chlorine in the water. The same might not work with your water though.
