In the Mines, the chances of hooking a Lava Eel depends on fishing level and equipment of the farmer, as well as the [[Fishing#Fishing Zone|fishing zone]] of the fished tile. The base chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 1.8%, which is increased by 0.32% per Fishing Level and 0.08% per fishing zone. This is increased by a further 4% if a [[Curiosity Lure]] is equipped, and by 8% if [[Targeted Bait|Lava Eel Bait]] is equipped.<ref name="mines_rates"/> For example, with a Fishing Level of 10 and in fishing zone 5, the chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 5.4%. This increases to 9.4% with a Curiosity Lure equipped, to 13.4% with Lava Eel Bait equipped, and to 17.4% with both a Curiosity Lure and Lava Eel Bait equipped.

At the Volcano Caldera, a Lava Eel can only be hooked at [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|Fishing level 7]] or higher. Assuming that the [['Physics 101']] painting was not caught, there is a 10% chance to ''potentially'' hook a Lava Eel, multiplied by the fishing zone of the fished tile, for a maximum of 50% in fishing zone 5. If this first chance succeeds, there is then a 5% base chance to successfully hook the fish, increased by 2% per Fishing Level, and reduced by 0.5% if in fishing zone 1. If Lava Eel Bait is equipped, this second chance is multiplied by 1.66, and then the whole procedure is attempted a second time, replacing the original item-to-be-hooked if the second results in a Lava Eel. Overall, with a Fishing Level of 10 and in fishing zone 5, the chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 11.9%. This increases to 35.5% with Lava Eel Bait equipped. A Curiosity Lure has no effect if the farmer has a Fishing Level of 10 or higher.<ref name="curiosity_maths"/>

Of the non-[[Fish#Legendary Fish|legendary fish]], it is the fish with the highest sell price and the second highest difficulty fish (after [[Octopus]], tied with the [[Scorpion Carp]]).

Lava Eels can be placed in a [[Fish Pond]], where they will reproduce every 5 days. The initial pond capacity is 1 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing four quests. After the first quest is completed, the color of the pond water changes to red. The primary output is red Lava Eel [[Roe]], but [[Gold Ore]] is possible starting at population 3 and several more valuable items are possible starting at population 8.

<ref name="mines_rates">See <samp>MineShaft::getFish</samp> in the game code. As the code used to fish in Level 100 of the Mines never invokes the default Fishing function, this means that Location and Fish data is unused, bypassing the requirement for Level 7 Fishing.</ref>

<ref name="TargetedBaitCaldera">Because of the tiny pool of items available from the Caldera (see <samp>Data/Locations.xnb</samp> in the game files), Lava Eel Bait almost always causes Lava Eel to be attempted twice.
