Its an underground rainwater cistern that came with the house, he tells My Modern Met.
It was originally built in 1958 and has been holding water since then.
It originally supplied the house with drinking water before it had city water.
Prior to becoming the eel pit, the cistern sat empty for the last 15 or 20 years.
Tobler saw the possibilities for the cistern when moving in.
Tobler started with some minnows, crayfish, and goldfish before adding seven American eels in late spring 2022.
Since then, hes added more creatures to his eel pit including gar and sturgeon.
Nick Tobler knew what to do with the rainwater cistern in his new house.
He would make it an eel pit and share it with the world.
In fascinating videos, he shares tours of the pit, its creatures, and its upkeep.
