I got a baby spiny eel today at my lfs they said to feed it blood worms but the frozen blood worms look to big to fit in his mouth and he ignores them what should I feed it
 
If it's hungry enough i'm sure the individual bloodworms will fit in its mouth just fine, unless your eel is absolutely tiny! Just give it a little time to settle in to its new surroundings, it's common for new tank additions to sulk for a while.
 
Waiting a bit as it still probably getting used to the tank.

Can consider try feeding at night.

He is really small I will try to post pictures
 
Looks to be out and exploring. A good sign!
