The 2 eels that I have are in a tank with a lid and a lead dive weight holding it down. They are very good escape artists. Several years ago I did have one (about 12 inches) in a open 150 g rubber maid tube for about a year and a half, but the water was always at least 8 inches from the rim. If you have the euro bracing on the inside of the tank that is at least 3 to 4 inches wide and don't have any electric wires coming out, a small eel should not be able to escape. But then again, if you put one in a 5 gallon bucket with 6 inches of water in it, I have seen them try to jump out and they almost make it. When I look at the eels at 4 or 5 am when I get up for work, there is usually one swiming around the tank, either looking for food or a way out?
So, NO, I have not tried the mesh, if its fine enough it should work
