I have been trying now for almost 9 months to get my small fire eel off of bloodworms and onto nightcrawlers and 3 days ago he took a very small nightcrawler and one a little bigger yesterday and then a big one today. He has been big enough for awhile, he is 10" but has been stubborn and I couldn't stop the bloodworms because of the elephant nose but today he only went for the nightcrawler and left the bloodworms alone. I will never get another eel to small to eat worms it is a pain in the butt to get them off bloodworms
Finally he is off Bloodworms

Keep adding more types of food, when they get going they explode, mine is powering through 27 inches now. I feed lob worms, dendrabeena worms, mussel, king prawns, normal prawns, fillets of salmon smelt, perch with the spines remove, roach and I am about to try tilapia.
I currently feed that tank bloodworms, mysis shrimp, tilapia, earthworms, and pellets. I would love to get all of the eels on tilapia it's so much cheaper
