I recently have purchased a 12 inch fire eel for my aquarium, and i have been trying to fed it frozen krill and squid chunks. ANY SUGGESTIONS NOT TAKING ANY FOOD?

spiney eels eat frozen bloodworm, thats the best place to start with those and the knife, hikari gold mini and broken massivore will be good for your others.

My old fire eel was a mad picky eater, but i discovered if you can use something like a pair of tongs to feed your fish they will in time associate that item with food, and may make it easier in the long run to get your eel to try new foods...
