Nick Tobler (born November 1996) is an American TikToker best known for raising eels and other fish in his house's cistern.
[5] In 2022, he owned a black widow,[3] "fifteen tortoises, several lizards, and fish,"[2] including a lungfish.
[6] In March 2022, Tobler began posting on TikTok about his attempts to turn the cistern under his 1958 home's garage into an "eel pit".
[5] The 288-ft cistern had originally been used to collect rainwater, but had become obsolete when the house became connected to the city's water supply.
[4] By mid-June 2023, when Tobler finally introduced eleven American eels to the enclosure,[5] he had gained more than 350,000 followers.
