Whether it be for spiny eels or morays, anyone got a try and tested food recipe for eels???

I ask coz i've got left over "dust" from FD krill etc, that i was thinking of mixing with frozen shrimp, mussels etc to turn into a geltain food to try and feed my eels...

Only problem is i've seen quite a few fish food gelatin recipes, but none that really contain what im after...

So if you got a recipe please let me know how you made it, and if it worked out for you or not? Especially if tried on eels...
 
I've tried to recycle the krill/bloodworm/tubifex ect. dust as well. The best success I had was
crushing up some Superworms or nightcrawlers in to a paste and some Tilapia pieces I ground into it added the dust with some boiling water and just froze it. My tiretrack tore it up pretty quick. If you use superworms make sure you grind down the weird "shell" thing they have or your eel will just spit it out.
making the frozen pieces smaller also helps because they swallow it instead of tearing and scattering all over your tank

^ thanks, thats what i was hoping to hear...

So superworms were thrown into your mix? I never considered that, although maybe an option since super worms are easier to find here compared to earthworms / nightcrawlers..,
