All information that is common in the genus should be moved from Electrophorus electricus to here. Esp. the text, not just the pics. -- Ernsts ( talk) 10:08, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Chiswick Chap. I'm thinking we should describe the eel's external appearance. In addition, we could also use this for its phylogenetic tree of Gymnotiformes. LittleJerry ( talk) 14:59, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
The thesis is fine, it got the top score, summary cum laude, and he's written papers since about the discoveries he made so it's easily defended. I've provides description details from Albert 2001. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 18:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
shouldn't this article cite a source for the "growing more vertebrae as they age" comment at the top of the page? i feel like that's something you need to back up with a study or something Cat-with-the-'tism ( talk) 19:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
