best way to keep eels alive for a week

[Saltheart]

3 bucket should be fine as long as you keep ice in the top bucket. seaweed (i lik bubble weed) in the bucket with the eels helps them as they can rub off slime on the seaweed.

I've kept eels alive 3 weeks using this method.....just make sure you keep freshening up the ice

what I have done is hang the 3 bucket system on a plant pole/hanger, filll with bubble weed, attach a hose connector to the lid, close the lid, attach the hose to the connector and let the water trickle on the eels (make sure the water and slime drain out of the hole on the bottom).....eels will live for a MONTH and with the bucket hanging the critters cant mess with them inside.
