Pet eel to stay in German bathtub


"Aalfred" the pet eel, who was threatened with eviction from a German family's bathtub where he has lived since 1969, can stay at home provided he gets a piece of pipe to sleep in, authorities have ruled.

Aalfred (Aal means eel in German) has become a celebrity in Germany, even appearing on television recently after newspapers reported his long stay with the Richter family.
