        Am I missing something? How is it a freshwater eel if they’re in the sea?

        oh damn they migrate to the sea before reproduction

        Confusing when you think of freshwater fish that can’t survive in saltwater. So then i’m guessing the baby eels just spread back out to freshwater sources

        Wait, aren’t there some eels that exclusively live in freshwater caves?
