The tank is 6x2x2 and houses the eel, 2 eclipse catfish and misc tetras prolly food later i know. anyways the eel loves worms but what else will it eat? and will get pics up tomorrow, water not looking the greatest huge piece of wood so leaking tannis

how big once it gets over a foot your tetras will start to go missing try all types of worms but also shrimp fish fillets and crustations like crayfish its important to try to get it to eat some type of fish or shrimp while its young you don't wan't to just feed it worms they love worms but that can be the proublem when they get old its really hard to get them off worms
