Eels are nocturnal

Eels are nocturnal and prefer to sleep in a secluded place during the day. By nature, they are voracious predators with powerful teeth. The basis of the diet is small fish, crustaceans and molluscs. They will not miss the catch entangled in fishing nets. Not having good eyesight, eel fish prefer to lie in wait for prey in ambush, because thanks to their excellent sense of smell, they can feel it from afar.
