I never see my electric ell eat anything. Ive had him for about a month so i take it that he is getting hes sustinance somewhere- any sugg/coments?

Try some feeder fish.. Then later on you can try and get him to eat prawns, silver sides etc..

Mine would eat anything that have a strong smell. Before it would only eat feeders and a month later to prepared food and then I was able to trian it to eat pellets. But it will only eat on type of pellets and that hikari massivore delite. Man I love this pellets!

We have one about 30 inches in a 135 gallon tank, eats thawed tilapia or pieces of shrimp. I just started feeding it with long plastic tongs. Although with a voltmeter I the highest reading received has been about half a volt, and that was with a slight tickling with the tongs.

Try some large earthworms,that usually gets them going,if it wont take them then check your water parameters.
King-el,your right Massivore delite is a great alternative to fresh foods,i would go as far as to say from a nutritional point of view its even better.

I put 4 or 5 feeders in the tank. They are usually gone in a day or two.
