Amazing Fish Eel

I got this Eel from Galif Street, popularly known as Birds Market near Shyambazar 5 point crossing Kolkata ( towards Tala Tank ); (Sunday Haat).
This got me intrigued and interested ! thanks to Wikipedia, i got to know the life cycle of this strange Creature.
I came to know that this fish gives birth in sea water and then transparent larva and changes into Elver and become brownish color and swim towards fresh water and many time leave the river and pass through muddy land to reach to a pond and live their for a few years (5 - 20 years).
After gaining maturity they go back to river and then to sea where female give eggs and male give spawn and (Spams) to fertilize externally after that transparent leptocephalus larva (3month to 1 year) comes out then changes to transparent glass Eel. Then to Elver and then to adult Eel.
