No one can figure out how eels have sex - Lucy Cooke

--

From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, Aristotle, Freud, and numerous other scholars were all looking for the same thing: eel testicles. Freshwater eels could be found in rivers across Europe, but no one had ever seen them mate and no researcher could find eel eggs or identify their reproductive organs. So how do eels reproduce, and where do they do it? Lucy Cooke digs into the ancient mystery.

Scientists: "You will tell me your secrets!"
Eels: "These secrets are forbidden to you, mortals. To know it means to lose all things you have known before."
Scientists: "Show me!"
Eels: _shows secrets_
Scientists: _incoherent screaming_

[redragon]

So I'm guessing eels will refuse to reproduce if they aren't in the wild, because otherwise they would just capture a male and female eel and put them in a tank to see what happens.
