Went to Real Life Aquatics, but they do not seem to carry the tiny, bubbling @FloridaManJefe figure that I want for my aquarium. Disappoint

ok, i’ll bite…
describe the item (or better yet, an image would be nice).
but i will offer my imagined “florida man aquarium bubbler”:
a plastic figure on a man whose leg is in the jaws of an alligator, face and arms lifted toward the water’s surface, mouth open as if to scream yet all that comes out is an endless stream of bubbles.
eels are cool, too.

It’s like you read my mind! The figure does have a captain’s hat in my imagination though

That was my first thought. Also, what does the government think about outdoor eel farmers?

My question also. Is home eel farming a new prepper thing? It wouldn’t surprise me.

As far as I know, they’re okay with it? Dunno what kind of eels these are, but apparently there’s only one farm in the US that raises glass eels, which have to be captured as larvae, since they can’t reproduce in captivity.
Yeah, it’d be less nutty than a lot of prepper stuff, and eel meat is pricey, so I could see someone deciding it’s a good source of cash. Though you also couldn’t breed them, which would seem like a stumbling block, but if you were willing to ignore regulations about capturing the young…

Preppers favour Tilapia, apparently.

Why keep electric eels in a basement?
Is there a trapdoor above them?
