Baby fire eel diet?

[rumblesushi]

I just got a reallys small little fire eel. 3 inches. Very cute not sure what to feed it. I've tried some very finely chopped mussels, and it's shown no interest.

What have you had luck feeding fire eels of this size?

 

[davo]

small bloodworms should be ok.

Yeah blood worms frozen or live. Live bloodworms made mine eat.

When I had my eel it liked live black worms, mysis shrimp, and frozen blood worms.

frozen bloodworms---- love fire eels

 

[guppy]

all the above and brine shrimp, they will usually take chopped earthworms as well

**** it, I can't get frozen bloodworms in this country. Or brine shrimp etc.

I'm going to have to find a tackle shop and buy some small worms of some sort.

What do you mean you can't get frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp in this country? They are everywhere!
Dig in your garden for earthworms.

I mean I live in Spain, and the only 2 fish shops within a few hour radius don't sell bloodworms or any other frozen food, or any live food.
