I have an 18"+ fire eel. He won't eat anything except frozen shrimp! It took me a few different types of food to see what he preferred. Great pet, my wife hand feeds him!

Nice eel though!

Maybe he's still adjusting, water quality, tankmates, there is many reasons. Even though I don't recommend it you can try some live food and see if he goes for it. But I wouldn't try that for about a week. He's a big boy and can go for a week or 2 without eating.
That's all I got for you. This is a common problem when you buy larger sized fish. You have to work at getting them on your feeding diets.
