So I have a rubber in eel in a 30g with some climbing perch, and while I think it's one of the cooler fish I have (I know it's really an amphibian, but whatever), how the thing could have ever survived in the wild is beyond me . . . the lfs was feeding them bloodworms, but he's just too slow and doddering to get much by the time the voracious perch are done darting around. It loves to eat waxworms, but I have to feed them to it by hand, because otherwise the worms will float up and the perch will grab 'em. . . the handfeeding is fun to do, but I don't always have time, anyone have any ideas for how to make sure he gets a good meal?

Hmm...
If He does well with your perch, wonder how he would do with dats?
Were did you get yours at?
Local place in WA? i haven't heard of any around, but I haven't looked much.

Dats are only 4'' right now...Cichlaholics Anonymous;1839260; said:
So I was thinking it would be the other way around..
But Amputated, tongs are what you need.
That way you can put the food right in the eels face.
You could try market shrimp, and earth worms.

thanks for the suggestions everybody . . .btw I got the rubber eel at The Fish Store on Roosevelt in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood . . .they have a pretty good selection there, not really any bargains to be had, but they have some varieties of fish you don't see many other places
