Last year I caught a couple eels while catfishing (Potomac river, North-Eastern Virginia). After reading up on them I've decided I'll set up a fish tank for one this spring.
I have 20 gallon long, a 20 gallon tall. And a 40 gallon. I don't know if its tall or long.
These eels can max out at 2 feet long for males and 5 feet long for females.

It's hard to say what size I'll catch but the one's last year were between 18 and 24 inches (guesstimation).
Which of my tanks should I use for 1 eel or 2 eels?
Any general info I should know about keeping an american eel?
They just seem really cool and it's something I can catch myself which is my preference with pets if possible.
