Fire eel and pellets?

[TheEelKing]

Is there any way to get my fire eel to eat hikari carnivore pellets? All of my other fish devour them save for this one. I just think it might be best for the sake of nutritional value if I could include pellets in his diet.

no that not what they eat. they like frozen krill, blood worms, eath worm, live shimp.

Someone posted a video of a tire track eating pellets last year, so it is possible to get them on pellets, but it would probably take a lot of time and luck.

i wouldn't try it. they need live or frozen.

You could try gut loading meal worms with crushed up pellets?

what i have done with fussy fish is stuff pellets inside pieces of market shrimp.

 

[Loves severums]

but i don't think pellets are good for them.

^they could choke.

^they could choke.

They could choke on just about anything, I think pellets would actually be healthier for them, since they would provide a more balanced diet.
