      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
