Acclimate eel from 1.020 to 1.025, how long?

Depending on the size of the eel it might be worse leaving it in the acclimation water than getting it into the tank. 1.020 to 1.025 is not really a big change. Fish tolerate FW baths which is far greater change than what you are doing. Doing a really fast drip is probably best for it.

For me, depends on the eel. Gymnothorax tile is a freshwater born eel that swims into the ocean for adulthood....acclimatization is very quick with these guys.
