Eels won't breed in captivity, & don't develop sexual organs until they start their journey back to sea.

At that point they stop eating, & survive on stored fat & by self-cannibalizing their own bones.Their digestive organs dissolve into their developing reproductive organs. 4/5
Meme. Photograph of an eel underwater, looking a the camera. We'll call her Verisong. She is peering out from a bed of ferns, which are waving gently in the current. They support and caress her like a lover in the night asking to borrow your car to go get a case of beer. It is a peaceful scene, and Verisong ought to be chill. Ought to be. But... But the her expression is surprised, and maybe even shocked. Both eyes are fixed on you in something very much like horror, and her mouth is turned down in despair. Imagine if someone told you that, next month, you'd stop eating and just digest your own bones and viscera. You'd be shocked, too. Would you have it in you to swim to the middle of the Atlantic after that? I didn't think so. Meme text reads: "Wait...I'm going to do *what* with my bones?"
