so i have a peacock eel which i have been feeding it live black worms. But now i want to switch and i bought tubifex worms and so far my eel has not even taken a bite. It will just look at it and swim away. Any suggestions?
Feeding problem
- Thread starter grimanater
- Start date
problem is that i only feed it every other day..so it hasnt eaten in like four days..btw they are frozen tubifex worms
everything is normal...and its only a 25 g tank. im kinda getting desperate now. it hasnt even touch the tubifex worms in a week
I'm having the same problem. I got a Peacock Eel about a few days ago and have yet to see it eat my Tubifex blood worms I'm putting in there for it. From what I've read on here, they prefer to eat in the dark. People also say that they feed them with little feeding claws so they can release the worms right in front of them instead of feeding them on the surface. I'm going to buy a feeding claw and try feeding him at night. I'll come back on here and let you know what happens.
mine doesn't like bloodworms, I have seen it eat it once.
mine eat only earthworms I dig up from my mothers garden.
you can also dry the earthworm and it will become like worm jerky. my peacock eel love it too

So after trying frozen tubifex and frozen blood worms, i went searching for any lfs that sold live blackworms because my old one closed down. SO i 've been feeding him live black worms which he currently loves to eat
