My eel isn't eating

[davenmandy]

If it's small you can keep it FW for a bit, but not long term. I can't believe noone has asked, but what did it eat when you bought it??? If it isn't eating the same food that it was before then that means something is wrong with his condition even if it's just stress.

I was just under the assumption it was eating feeders because that's the only thing any lfs has ever fed them around me

It sounds like it will not help this situation much but to get my snow flake, salt water, eel to eat other than live food I had to target feed it. I used a clear piece of rigid air line with a notch cut in the end. Put the food on the end then wiggle it in front of the eel while moving it away. They will generally strike it and take the food.

The eel was supposed to be eating frozen brine shrimp at the store but he isn't at home

I'm also kind of worried because he still isn't eating, but he swims across the front of the tank like all day even when the lights are on so😁😁 plus he has a lot of hiding spots, a cave, driftwood, rock tower thing, tunnels hollow rocks. Idk what I should do!

You could try squid at the last resort.

Are there any suggestions on what your eels like to eat?
