I have a freshwater morray (gymnothorax tile), and have kept i for some time now

at the moment it wil only eat live food (fish), but what kind of food would be good to use to train it to eat dead food?

best wishes

There is no such thing as a fresh water morray, you will need to move to salt or brackish water. But to get it to eat frozen food just offer it more often then the live food, it just a baby and thats why its fresh water, ti will take some time to get it do take the food but over time it will work.

I know they are not freshwater species, and I keep mine in Brackish water :)
it's an adult, it seems to very happy with eating mollies especially sailfin

I don't know "silversides" what is this?

From what I have read Live Feeders are considered to be a poor choice of nutrition. I have also heard cases of live feeders backing up the intestinal system and causing death. I don't know if this is only gold fish or not.

I'd try out squid, possibly pieces of fish fillets, fed with forceps and wiggled like a live fish.

I've had good luck feeding my eels frozen foods (shrimp,krill) by simply waving it about past the eels nose. They could never resist take a bite of it, or my finger for that matter.
